This is a 14" Truth hinge, picture is of the left side. Numbers stamped on the parts are 31704 and 30128.
I will be buying to sets, 2 windows. I recently bought the operators from you, didn't buy these because I didn't have those pictures or dimensions at that time.

Thanks for posting. See our 36-049 14" Hinge Set. Take a look and see if this is what you need.

I'm Sorry but this doesn't look like an exact match.
The holes on the perpendicular piece do npt look like they are in the same locations as the Truth hinge I have. And less than 7", 36-049 is 7 5/8"

You probably won't find an exact match for your original hinge. You could try to contact the original manufacturer directly, but I don't know if they'll have it either. You will ultimately have to substitute with a more modern part.

I am confident that the 36-049 that Bob recommended will work. You may need to redrill installation holes, but then again you may not. I've used this to replace a ton of older style hinges in the past and in my experience there is very little adaptation required. They're made to be versatile. The only thing you have to make sure of is to replace the top and bottom at the same time so that the operation is symmetrical.
