   Looks like they've had trouble justifying the time it takes to sort these out for specific orders.  Have you looked at any of their eBay lots?

   I wonder how long ago that information was added to the web site.  Just for kicks, I think I'll set up a search-reminder thing at eBay, see if any lots show up.  Sad that so many people backed out of their commitments.

   Foolin' around, found another company selling a big lot of flat-head black iron wood screws, they want nearly $2,000 <click here>

   you can have them for free, they are about 75 years old and I will never use them.

   just give me an address to send them.

   MSC Industrial supply sells slotted wood screws. We remove the plating with acetic acid, file the lathe marks from the heads and blue them. The slots are too wide to match 18th Century screws but then our approach is to get the appearance with plenty of evidence what we make is of contemporary origin including the year it was made stamped prominently into each piece. Someone passing off our work as 18th Century is the stuff of nightmares for us.
