Hello all,

 

I am in need of four oval head screws, (not flat or round head).  I need
them 4" in length and what appears to be about size #18.  Steel is preferred
over brass but I think I'd be willing to accept either.  Stainless would be
a great bonus but I have my doubts about that one.

 

These will be used to secure a band organ façade on a restoration I'm
working on.  These were commonly used on many piano plates so surely someone
must have a few rolling around in a coffee can under a work bench.  New
replacements are no longer available in 4".   The maximum size available now
appears to be 3".   I think about all the old junk pianos I've tossed over
the years which probably contained exactly what I'm looking for!
