Help! I need to match a screw!


I have an old wooden chair that has lost some screws. I'd like to purchase replacements, but local hardware stores have been no help. Apparently this is pretty nonstandard.


Picture of head


Stats: 1 1/4" (not including head)


Self tapping (i.e. pointed)


Socket (a.k.a. Allen) drive (if it looks different, it's slightly stripped)


about 5/32" shaft, discounting thread (#16?)


beveled head with quick taper to shaft


1/8" threading (crest to crest- worm? the threads are quite sharp)


Thanks in advance for your help!
