Alternative Cone Manufacturers/ Suppliers?

New Zealand used Orton as well.

 

Any reason for seeking an alternative? Orton is a non-profit and exemplary.

 

Some reasons:

 

- O.-cones (Large LRB) are sold for example in Europe for around 0.32 $ (1€ ~ 1.09$) for 50 pcs. (good price?)

 

- Pyrometric cones are not a hightech product. They could be manufactured in some countrys for lower prices.

 

- For some reasons I need to know what other cones are popular in other countries.

 

- I searched the Internet but found no informations.

Seger is the standard in Japan.  In Japan they are about 100 円 (Yen) each.  At the moment the 円 is about 117 to the Dollar.  Recent world economic turmoil has the 円 at the lowest value against the Dollar in a while (hurting my Dollar /  å†† conversion rate at the moment).  So right now they are a bit less than a Dollar a cone.  For the US... on the average..... think about 50 bucks a box!

 

I often take or ship Orton cones to my friends in Japan.

 

There are also the Bell pyrometric cones and bars ( BELL RESEARCH, INC.):   http://www.sheffield-pottery.com/Bell-Pyrometric-Cones-and-Mini-Bars-s/398.htm
