The originals were darkened brass, oval head, Phillips screws. Maybe 1/4" long, going from memory here, maybe 3/8". #2 sounds right.
(Edit: Now, having seen the thread Terry referenced just above, #2 x 3/8" does sound right. But the head was oval, not round, made for a Phillips bit.)
I remember finding some in a hardware store many years ago. I should have bought every one they had, I guess...I haven't seen any like that since. The ones I found that time were identical to the original Philco screws.
