I am trying to remove an internal door in a 1890's house for stripping and repainting. The door has 2 hinges. I removed all the old paint but cannot find a hinge pin. They look like normal hinges. Any ideas?

photo please

Do you mean you hoped to drive out the pin?
 
they certainly have a pin, I think the top is probably peened over like a rivet or the head of a nail, for visual neatness. Possibly it will be visible from underneath, or you could file or grind the end off.

I think the easiest thing will be to take the hinge off.

When re-fitting, consider lift-off hinges which will make life easier next time.

I had to wait for some assistance to take the door off. I replaced the hinges.
Thank you for the replies.
