My inclination would be take out one more and bring it to a hardware store.
See if they can match it.

However, the very first result of a Google search is this:

You concealed your e-mail address, which also made it impossible to tell
what country you were posting from.

I suppose I might have noticed the crosspost (as I just did) but
crossposting is quite rare these days.
