Coffe pot, anyone familiar with this vendor?

Ran across this site during a web search. Trying to fins a small tin coffe pot.

Look under coffee pots, CK-5, the 4 cup.

If this is a bad idea, who has a recommendation for a maker/vendor?

Thanks

Ben,

Rick Bailey (a member on this forum) carries tinware made by Pat Cunningham who is by far one of the most talented makers I have ever seen, and his prices are right with that place, whom I have never heard of and judging from the pictures, can see why.

Another choice would be Chris Utley at Carter and Jasper Sutlery. Great stuff, and I believe he has two styles to choose from. Either of those will give you much better products at around the same price.

Pretty much what I thought, and actually was browsing the like items on Carter & Jasper the other day...

Thanks for the tip.

Ben,
I'm with Landrum here. Rick might just have a few things at Perryville we can line you up with.

Going along with what's been said already...there are a few good sources of tin out there that are "locals" to this forum. One thing that I might give you a bit of advice on is to be sure that you get a small coffee pot that is made for what you're going to be using it for. If you're going to be using it on a stove, then a pot made for a stove would suffice. If you're going to be using it on a fire as most of us do, then look for one made for a fire, i.e. with rivets and strengthened attachments rather than lightly attached pieces. I just visited the Arabia museum last weekend and many of their really interesting tin pieces are made for a stove and not the fire. Not an endorsement of my wares over another, as I carry both types.

Greetings,
I have done some business with this Gentleman, and his items are very well made. I would buy again from him, and plan to do so.

Out here in CA, I saw some of this fellow's work, sold by a vendor here, however, was unaware of it until now. I like his coffeepot very much as it looks like a few of the originals that I have hanging in my kitchen. His work looks good and is affordable :D In fact, the only thing that I didn't like was that horrid noisy music played as the site loads.....music on websites, yick. I wish that web builders would learn that trick has become more of a nuisance than a novelty.
