Need four 3-50 1/4" brass screws

[Keith Wissman]

Not sure if this is the correct forum, please advise if there is a better one.

I am restoring a 1893 Waterbury tall case clock and the dial is held to the movement by the four screws. I have three originals but would like four new ones to complete the restoration.

After 3 months of searching I cannot find this screw. Does anyone know of a source or may I commission someone to cut four screws for me?

Many thanks! Keith

The 3-50 thread is obsolete. I have a friend that has a bunch of obsolete screws and stuff. He repairs old clocks and Grama Phones. I have some parts for him and will see him tomorrow. Hang in there we will find them for you.

Are you absolutely sure of the thread size? McMaster Carr has 3-48 and 3-56 screws.
