Source of Flat Head Steel Wood Screws
By Richard Schneider

Dear list,  Due to having purchased (many years ago, now!) an older
pipe organ building firm, we have a sizable inventory of slotted plain
steel wood screws.

Most of these were purchased in bulk, 50 or more years ago, from
old-line US producers before much of this kind of production moved
offshore.  They've simply been sitting on the shelves awaiting use,
but that has never come.  We normally use Phillips or Robertson Head
screws in our work, so much of this has become redundant inventory for
us, except in the case of isolated repair jobs where older slotted
screws need to be matched or otherwise replaced.

We're willing to sell these screws on an individual basis, by the 100,
to anyone who has need of them.  Prices are based on the old APSCO
price list for new screws.  We have sold out of some of the more common
sizes, but will be happy to respond to requests.  Hopefully we'll have
what you need!

If you don't hear back from us immediately, please remember that we're
not a store but a practicing pipe organ building manufactory, so this
means that we're often out of town on jobs for weeks at a time!

Don't despair: we'll get back to you eventually!  We would *greatly*
prefer contact *via email*, as this allows us to respond according our
own time schedule.

Best wishes from:
