Seconded. The older the Ace Hardware store the better. In my travels as a Street Mechanic I’ve always found, within any city, at least one store, with hardwood floors, dusty merchandise, and a collection of fasteners to die for.

Y’know summat?
Whenever I’m lucky enough to find one of these Olde Worlde stores I just love a good mooch around.
Some of the stuff found in these places is no longer manufactured…I actually found blotting paper last year in a place in Doncaster, Yorks.
And the added bonus was a thingy that the paper wrapped around in a semi-circle

I have tiny screws from eyeglass repair kits, but screws alone won’t do it – I need something to tighten down on the end of the screw to hold the glasses together. Hence, a tiny nut-and-bolt, or something along those lines. I’ll check Ace Hardware to see if they have some that are small enough.

Tiny nut-and-bolt assemblies are used to hold the lenses on some rimless (drill-mount) eyeglasses.
An eyeglass/sunglass place will have something that fits.

(cough cough) That would be a “blotter”.
