I'm not sure this is what you're after but Calumet has the 47" columns on the auction site and their own clearance site constantly.

Thanks for your help. But what I am looking for is the actual company who made the columns for Zone VI.

Contact Richard Ritter. He used to work for Zone VI in Vermont. A google search will turn up his website.

Thank you for the information. Hopeful Mr. Ritter will help me out on a project I have in mind.

Richard is a good guy. He answered a couple questions I had about the Zone vi 4x5.

The columns were custom made. When Zone VI bought the columns they would buy a full run about 1000 pounds plus at a time. The company that made the parts kept no stock of the extrusions. The last run was about 5 years ago maybe longer and at that rate the die may be in Calumets hands since they own the die or it could be gone.
