Identifying Manufacturer of Old Hinge

A client wants some new cabinets with hinges that match her old ones. I've not had any success identifying the maker's mark. I looked at W's first and decided that White Chapel, Montgomery Ward and Westinghouse don't match. But now I'm thinking that may be a double V. Anyone happen to know what company has that logo? Thanks.

Amrock 3/8 offset cabinet hinge is what I seem to recall, but it has been about 40 years.

I guess I should have said this before. I believe the manufacturer is Washington - and if you look above the W you'll see the tri-corner hat. They used to make metal / tin bread boxes back in the day but I wasn't aware they made hinges.
Stan is going to be your best bet for a match but I wouldn't hold my breath.

The co. was called Washington Line. Was around in the 1950 & 60's. They were standard 3/8 off set.

Thanks guys. The manufacturer is indeed Washington. Not only did Stan call me and give me that info, he also had some to sell.
Looks like I'll have a very happy client. Thanks again.
