I hope I'm on the right track. I've asked Vintage hardware if the have straight H and Frog Legs in the right size, hoping I could combine halves to achieve the "half-Frog" hinge. OR, Vintage does custom stuff, so I may have to ask for prices on that.
And, yeah, Captain, I think those are the screws (or close enough).
Thanks again. I'll let you know when I find a solution.
I am searching for this armoire hinge. It was manufactured by the Drake Smith Co of Bristol Vermont.
The part numbers are A6076DC and A6074DC. It may be described as a frog or a rooster hinge.

Very interesting, as was Capn K's post about the screws. I was certain both the hinge, and the screws were hand made, the tool marks are so inconsistent, and that tapering on the hinge barrel was done by the maker to fit them to that particular whatever it is….
On this Drake Smith Co of Bristol Vermont, do you have a link that enabled you to cite the part numbers? I did a Goofle on the given information, and my dog came back from that hunt empty handed. Except to say, well see below…
Interesting thread. Well OK. I hadn't scrolled back to the top, and looked at the initial pic, but looking after my post I see they are close to the same, but different pieces. More and more interesting….
The part numbers are on the rear of the hinges I do have. I need to replace at least two hinges out of the six on the armoire. Wondering out loud if the failed hinges can be repaired?? Any advice!
It looks like the hinge pin and hole are worn. My first thought is to drill out the pin and/or hole and put in a larger pin or a sleave. Of course, you should have a drill press and some means of firmly and accurately holding the hinge while drilling.
