wholesales
a small cast iron 3-footed "witch's cauldron", in a size range from

resellers. |

Hi there!
Must the foundry already produce these cauldrons, or are you willing
to consider foundries which will produce these pieces to your exact
specifications?
Mass produced cauldrons currently available in occult and party stores
are produced mostly in Mexico, according to a party supply retailer of
my acquaintance.

Missy-ga: hi2U2. Good question.
It would have to be a standard product already in the foundry's line.
No point in re-inventing the wheel. If no one can come up with a US
source, I'll repost for Mexico as the next acceptable source. Mexico
would certainly be preferable to China, fo example.

hi ldmorgan
I would presume since you don't
want a reseller, that you are
looking for large quantities,
or are trying to avoid middleman
costs?
If I could find a reseller that
would meet a price you are looking
for, would that suffice as an
answer?
With that in mind, how many do you need,
and what is the cost range you
are looking for? If I find a wholesaler
I'm sure they will ask.
A quick search turned up tens of
retail sellers of small cauldrons.

This place has wholesale, and
cauldrons.

please let me know of the clarifications
thanks,

Hi, alienintellegence!
Sorry to be so long in replying, I was on a trip out of state.
I appreciate your searching, but I really am looking only for an
actual
in-process manufacturer. Even a "good" reseller's price is a
higher-than-factory
price, and also precludes access to the foundry for special products,
etc.
Since starting this search, I've received a goodly number of offers
from foundries willing to specially produce the product to my specs.
Not practical. I'm still looking for the direct source which already
makes small cauldrons.
If it turns out that no US source exists (very possible) I'll probably
expand my search to selected other countries, like Mexico and Canada,
in turn.
