They are manufactured, for the most part.
Try King Architectural Metals, 800-542-2379 or kingmetals.com
Most likely any decent wrought iron shop, (not structural steel fab shop) would be a local source.

Subject: hss post weld on caps
I am looking for a supplier of steel weld-on caps for outdoor hss stair and railing posts.
I recall seeing such caps on various projects but I’m not sure if they are shop fabricated or if they are a manufactured accessory.
The caps I’m thinking of are a nearly flat pyramid with a small overhang that covers the end of the tube to keep out water and provide an architectural finish.
Wagner has something similar but I think they are press-on not weld-on.
Thanks all.
