No luck with Google! Can anyone point me in the direction of a company that sells old fashioned wrought black slot head screws? I have no problem getting the old style catches for our cottage but they look so much better with antique style screws as per the others in the house.
Thanks
Nick

Thanks but those are machine tooled, I want ones that look like they were made by a blacksmith?
I know you can get them as they are on all the door handles in the cottage.

Other option is buy the black ones above and give them heat with a blow torch and a few good blows with a hammer.
