Screws or tabs???

When my pals were reading comic books
I was down in the basement in my dad's
workshop. Perusing his Sam's Photofoacts
Vol 1-50 admiring the old set and trying to
figure out what all those squiggly meant.
Circa 1966
Now I think I've got it!

no hammer.... screws screw in  Icon_biggrin
Ok but how do you unscrew them and screw them in? They have no groove

 Very carefully  Icon_crazy   actually you might be right about tapping them.in with a hammer. I have seen screws like that before. Does it have a head that looks like a round nail haad and are the "threads" different than it's screws? They kind of go up the screw instead of around aND around? If so then they need to be tapped in carefully.

Yeah they're drive screws.

Sorry meant Sam's post with the pick.

I had good luck with a fada 80 door that used what looks like screws like these. but smaller brass ones
used angled sharp pick. pulled straight up on sides little at a time
then used pliers and twist out
taped ever so gentle with plastic faced hammer luck maybe   

Some day, and that day may never come, I will call upon you to do a service for me. But until that day, accept this justice as a gift
