I have some bookshelves that use machine screws and cross dowels to
hold their frames together. The machine screws are metric: M6 50mm
long, brass plated (antique?) over steel and (here's the real killer)
flat head (countersunk). As luck would have it, since moving house I am
missing some of the cross dowels and the screws, so I need to find
replacements.


Go down to you nearest GOOD hardware store that has a good selection of
fasteners with sample in hand.

Have them special order a box (100 pcs) of what you need.
