I have a cast iron Christmas tree stand and I need to replace the screws/bolts. Where can I get them and/or how can I determine the thread so that I can check at a hardware store?

Most hardware stores have thread to test if there the right thread. So your better of taking the stand or bolts to the hardware and test it on the threads When you find the right thread the packets are marked with the size an thread of tho bolt. If you can't find the right thread ask a worker there to help you.
