While driving along looking at pole pigs on poles last week, I cast my
eyes on a beautiful metal sphere on top of a flag pole, no less. I
then looked in the yellow pages for flags and found several local flag
and sign companies. The new shperes are aluminum with a single 1/2"
hole. The prices are the cheapest I've seen on this list. I visited a
couple companies. Often times they will have used ones and they give
them away or sell them quite cheap. I Ask them to save them for me.
