Does anyone know of a supplier of tin/sheet metal tapered candle molds?

Thanks guys.
Believe it or not I was going to originally ask if any body knew if Dr. Berthold was still around and making them as I had bought from him many years ago. I took a couple of apiculture courses from him over at Delaware Valley College and Rutgers. He would work the bees in shorts and a tee shirt and never get nailed once while we students were all decked out and getting hammered left and right. The only Doctor of Apiculture I've ever met. Great guy. I'll write him.

I grew up around the corner from Dr. Berthold, and can definitely say that he got more than a few kids involved in beekeeping. I still vividly remember watching everyone gather around his beekeeping demonstrations at the A-day fair, and feeding his bees my cotton candy :-)
