Are there any luddites in here still preferring the old fashioned

Certainly not me. I suppose I might consider slotted brass anywhere
particularly visible on antique furniture.

Can you not get Pozidrive brass?

You can, and I might use them for somewhere visible on modern hardwood
(eg keyhole escutcheon), but they don't look right on anything antique
(IMHO).

Because they don't look old?

Exactly.

I thought decent antique stuff had all the screws hidden anyway.


Decent antiques don't have screws.
They weren't around much 200 years ago.

Reproductions have screws.
