have kitchen cabinets that have European style hinges which I need
to replace. I am having trouble identifying the manufacturer, Does
anybody recognize this hinge brand?

I have been told it could be Mepla. Looking at their web site, I
can't
find a hinge with the same hole pattern. Any ideas who made this
hinge
or sells one with the same hole pattern. Blum hinges use a different
hole pattern.

I believe Mepla hinges are made in China. In the picture it looks like
it says "Made in Austria". I'd look at the Grass hinges as I think
they're Austrian made.

Thanks. Based on the date code, the hinge was made in 1980. Most of
the hinges I have seen use the Blum footprint. No big deal but I was
tring to avoid drilling 80 new holes, If I have to, I will,

One comment on that:
Trying to screw a new hinge into an old hole might
or might not work. The screw holes have probably
"wallowed out" and using a new hole pattern might
be a better thing to do anyway.

Depends on the age of the hinge. That picture seems to indicate
a pretty standard "clip top" Euro hinge, which at least a dozen
companies might make. The hole pattern is nothing special.
You can use almost any euro hinge with a 35mm hole and move on.
I wouldn't get hung up with Mepla, but if you can source them, use
Mepla. Blum, Salice, etc,etc would work fine...
