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!
