Ceiling screws
I am freshening up my 1930 Model 100. What would be the correct screws to use to install the ceiling planks?

Re: Ceiling screws
If my memory is correct, my 1928 has #6 oval head slot screws. yours may be chrome plated.
My 2 cents.

Re: Ceiling screws
That's what I was wondering. Chrome, brass or that dark bronze color?

Re: Ceiling screws
When I removed my originals there was plating, most likely nickel like the rest of the hardware. Your hardware was probably chrome, along with the screws.

Re: Ceiling screws
The originals in 1930 would likely be #6 x 3/4 (or 1"), Oval, Slotted, Nickel plated. Nowadays they follow the Nickel plating with chrome to stop the tarnishing of Nickel. That's all that's available now anyway.
The 'darker bronze'; "Statuary Bronze" (As used in statues.., NOT Statutory as often seen advertised), was used in the mid-50's.
