    I don't know if these are the same stakes  or not but the company
    making them has been around a very long time selling to school
    shops. I bought a set several years ago.  Can't quickly find my old 
    sales flier but here is from the archive: 

    The best deal on stakes I know is: 

>         Casting Specialties, W 51 N 545 Struck Lane, Cedarburg, WIS 
>     53012, (414-377-4361): Cast semi steel hammer set; unfinished
>     (94.00), also set of T stakes, 8 for $130 and vertical set at $102.
>      Can be hard to get hold of but I have a set and so do others. The
>     price is right even if the service may be a little loose. 

>         You have to finish them yourself, a sweaty day and a half with
>     an angle grinder. My suggestion is to trade with a high school
>     shop, you give them a one day workshop on jewelry, they finish your
>     stakes for you... 

This is a family business --  slow can be the operative word.
