window screen pins

Question

The window screen pins on our screens are 27 years old. We took screens out to paint house and most of the pins broke. We didn't find any manufacturer markings on windows so we don't know what kind they are. Would any of your pins fit our screens?

I'm not sure if any of our pins will work. Your pin has a somewhat unique design. I'm also not sure what your dimensions are. I'm afraid a tape measure in a photo won't be enough in this case. We'll need you to measure the diameter of your pin as carefully as you can and let me know what it is. Keep in mind it will probably go into the x/32" range, so you'll have to be as precise as possible.

Would you also happen to know who made your screen? That would be a huge clue. Let me know!
