Door Hinge Colour

OK peeps, who's got some door hinges that haven't been repainted?

What colour were they from new? Were they black? :?

Re: Calling Paul Smith...

I've just found some small pictures of the Mini-Motel that was listed on eBay in June 2008. It was in Tamworth, Staffordshire and it sold for £390.00.

Portafold Badge
