i have their catalog but didn't notice this one. mine is black plastic. I may call them and see if they can tell me more. it's not expensive. the flower looking heavy metal ones i found on Pauls' site are $40.00 and up.
I bought the one from Clotilde, I love it! I bought one of the plastic ones from Hancock's in desperation one night, but it was worthless. The heavy one from Clotilde is well worth the money, I've been able to use my cones with no trouble at all.
Hope this endorsement helps you decide. :-)
