Does anyone have any info on this design of darby. No stamping other than 'HARD" . Interesting angle/taper on the hinge plate. It has a wire bow key.

I'd say first half of 1800s. Probably made buy an employee on the weekend.

Assuming they are not branded. If you haven't been contacted by the person I am helping yet, I will pass these pics on.
