"vintage" hinges?

Hi everyone, I know hinges aren't really that cool of a subject, but what can you guys tell me about these hinges?

They say PAT 1967, does that mean that's when they were made, or is that just when they were patented?

They're pretty much exactly the same size as any other door hinge, except these have two holes in the center with room to adjust the screws and level the door, instead of the three triangle shaped screw holes most have now.

Anything special about these?

Do they have any value?

I don't think your hinges have much value at all. They are fairly modern versions that might of retailed for a few bucks apiece. Most contractors are using the european style Blum hinges that have a number of different adjustments to fine tune the gap between the doors.

The only collectible kind of hinges i know of are early american ones made by Stanley and are stamped with the Sweetheart logo. The only reason they are desirable is for use in early homes being renovated to original equipment.
