Looking for old fasteners

Anyone have suggestions for where I might find replacements for this fastener?

It came off a Ranger 12 dinghy and was used to secure the gunwales. I believe it is brass, 1.5" long, 1/4" OD. It doesn't have to be an exact match as I'd be very happy to replace it with something that roughly looks and works the same. I'm missing two of these.

If not, any suggestions on alternatives?

Thanks!

I have seen plenty of those in Ikea build it yourself furniture in all sort of sizes and shapes. My bet is that you will find them in any wood workers hobby store. Finding them in brass may be a bit harder, but they too should be plentyful.

It's a binding screw or sex bolt. McMaster has the common ones. Apex fasteners has a lot more variety, but you wait a bit

Gee, we used them to put thru the holes in paper, to assemble a manual. Those were more like #10, vs 1/4" though.
