Default Hinges for Presentation Box

I have a mahogany presentation box, that both hinges are broken. Does anyone have a source for the replacement hinges?

Search for "jewelry box" hardware suppliers. They might have something that will work.

You might also try craft shops like Hobby Lobby or Michael's. Thou might not find and exact replacement, but maybe you can get close.

McMaster-Carr sell polished solid brass hinges in small sizes......

McMaster-Carr

Some hardware stores sell solid brass small hinges, but most will actually be brass plated.

Also there are some on Amazon for miniature boxes.
