When I worked at the Orlando Science Center we also used Iwasaki, which after a
little research was found to have the best selection, although the prices are
very high. We were very happy with them, and their turnaround time is great.
They can also custom make replicas if you send them photos, but that's even more
expensive. Their # is 800/323-9921. Two other companies that provide these
products are Fax Foods, 760/599-6030 and Nasco (Family/Consumer Sciences division),
800/558-9595.
