Looking for a solid brass hinge for small jewelry boxes. Love Brusso, but just afford them right now.

Vertex is a decent brand although not up to Brusso standards. Usually available from Lee Valley. I like Brusso as well although their stuff is very hard to find right now.
Used a couple of these this week and was happy:

The link and the site say brass plated, but the package says brass and they are non-magnetic.
I just made four sets of cabinet doors with Highpoint hinges. For the price, they're a good deal. Sometimes inexpensive hinges aren't quite flat, have stamping marks at the edges, and other things you might not want. These are fine. Not as thick as Brusso, but I would have literally been over $200 in hinges on the Brusso and this was under $40.

This is who I use. Very happy with their products.
It seems Horton does not supply knife hinges though.
I know Cosman uses Richelieu hinges. I don't have an account there and you can't see the prices until you do. I guess it's like buying a car. If you have to ask you can't afford it.
