   Try The Old House Journal online.  They have sources galore for that type of thing.  They print out a yearly source guide that reaches the four corners of the globe, but mostly in the US.

   Thought of that if your suggesting what I think you are. It's hard for a fat old man to explain what he's doing on the top of a neighbors chimney removing their pots.

   Hey....fat old man... hmmm..got an idea...

   note to self:

   get a red outfit, some reindeer .....ya!...just might work!

   Thanks for the idea Sphere

   Superior Clay is the largest around and they distribute to mason supply houses all over the country

   The secret of Zen in two words is, "Not always so"!

    The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you. Then do not grasp at the stars, but do life's plain, common work as it comes, certain that daily duties and daily bread are the sweetest things in life.

   Actually, the Chimney Pot Shoppe in Pennsylvania (http://www.chimneypot.com) is the world's largest supplier, and they have several hundred varieties in stock for shipment anywhere, plus they offer custom chimney pots if you can't find exactly what you are looking for.

   They carry chimney pots from all of the major US manufacturers, plus from England, Australia, and elsewhere - both antique and new.

   I think you'll probably find what you're looking for there. (The owner is that British guy someone else mentioned - his name is Mike Bentley.)

   Good luck. And once you finish your project, send them a picture of it. They have a Photo Gallery on the website.

   Thanks. I know of this and a few others I was hoping for a source of pots new or used closer to Tulsa, Oklahoma.

   For the record I am listed in the pot spotters hall of fame as having found an unusual pot, while not fancy. I got to name this Ara's Greenwood Taper.

   Check out the site, it's fun.

   Wow! You are an HO! I'm familiar with the site - it IS fun, isn't it? I think we should start an American chapter of Chimney Pot Spotters. I'll talk to the good people at the Chimney Pot Shoppe about that. After all, chimney pots are becoming increasingly popular here in the US these days (well, and they've been here for a few centuries, too...)Once you start to notice chimney pots, you find yourself looking up quite a bit, don't you??? : )
