No wonder there is confusion, because there is no such thing: it is either an oval-head screw or a flat-head screw. It can’t be both. That said, you seem to agree this hinge with screws is a modern pattern, and on that we agree. I don’t care when in the 20th century this trunk was made, but think [USER=2844]@Any Jewelry[/USER] had it about right in the 1970s, when slotted screws still would have been the default. Just note that hinges like these do not come with oval-head screws, because the oval head would stand above the hinge and prevent the hinge from closing flat. OK, can we agree on these things?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
