Default Old fashioned screws

I am looking for some old-fashioned steel screws whose head has a
single slit (not pozidrive) - don't know how else to describe them.

Can anyone tell me of a source?

Thanks in advance

Jonathan

If indeed he wants countersunk heads - there are plenty of other head shapes
available with straight slots in them - see

Screwfix, Toolstation, B&Q, Homebase, Wickes, Focus etc.

Quite why anyone would want to use them is beyond me though.

Anywhere where you can still see the head - like hinges etc. For
construction work or other fixings I agree with you.

I want to copy some fixings on some old doors. Screwfix don't appear
to sell them nor do any of my other local suppliers. I think they have
quietly disappeared while no one was looking. Scewsline looks like the
answer.
