Hi. Anyone know who sells antique fountains imported from Europe? If
not, then do u know of a good quality fountain company in America?


=====================
Have you searched the web using Google? I came across several sites that
sell them some time ago. I didn't book-mark them because I wasn't
looking for fountains. Be prepared, they were very expensive.

Carol that was a truely insightful post. I'm sure the original poster is
rejoicing in the knowledge.


Thank you. I'm sure he is as well. Some people don't think to search the
net for what they want. Especially newbies.

How antique can a real fountain be? Small electric water pumps are a
relatively recent consumer item. Maybe 30 years?


They were downhill from springs in old times. The water pressure worked the
fountain, not electric motors. A friend in Calcoon NY had such a fountain
run by a natural spring years ago. The water ran off into a hidden drain
pipe and on down to the Susquehanna river.
