I've got a really nice mid-century Sweden rosewood coffee table I'm doing up. I've sanded back the rundown top and nitro-ed it. Now I'm ready to put the legs on and it has a very quirky attachment system using these unique metal parts.
You'll note the screw part has shorn off one of them. Now this is nothing more (I'm guessing) than a parallel-edged screw (a hefty 5mm one) welded to the other metal part. I have never at any point seen a screw like this in any of the hardware chains here. Any idea what a screw like this would be called and where I might be able to get one (1) because that all I really need.
The alternative would be to do a much less sturdy casting in tin or something but that's an absolutely last resort.
Any ideas?
