I did see one for sale on eBay once, which was supposedly a Tubular Bells II promo item. It wasn't terribly good - just a metal rod (not a tube), bent into the bell shape and sprayed yellow.
I'm not certain how Trevor Key bent the tube for the original. People who work with pipes often will have a device for bending them without them squashing at the bend - you might want to try and find someone who has that kind of equipment, and ask for help.
The bell for Tubular Bells III was made not from a pipe but from a sheet (of silver), which was then hammered into shape.
I'd imagine that having such an object made would be fairly costly, unless you have a friend who'd be willing to do it for nothing.
