What to do with old hardware?

The hinge on the door to our attic snapped recently, so today we repaired it. Our house was built in 1910 but extensively remodeled. These hinges (and the handle/latch) look original though. Because the place has already been overhauled we're not particularly interested in period-authentic replacements, so we just replaced the hinge with something from Home Depot. I know that these older pieces can be hard to find, so I'm wondering how I might be able to find someone who can use the intact hinge? Ebay? Here? I'm not looking to make money off the thing, but I've lurked here enough to know that people can be made very happy with the right part to augment their old-home restoration. :)

I'll update later with a photo -- heck, maybe it's not original at all!
