I have been buying these from Whitechapel but of late the size selection has diminished and the quality suffered.  The last I bought were drilled for #6 screws and counter sunk for #5 and the finish was not as good as in the past. 
 
I buy from Horton Brasses in Cromwell, CT.  I believe they have only two sizes but they are very strong and come in four finishes.  They also supply slotted brass screws and not phillips head.

When I was at WIA there was a company there called Phoenix Lock. They had samples of their product on their table and it looked like very nice quality stuff. I know that they do carry extruded brass hinges - fast tip, button tip or ball finial. You can reach them at www.phoenixlock.com or 800-471-3087. They're also (or at least they were) offering a 15% discount if you mention "Woodworking In America".
