Gaslo made a few different metal handlebar plugs. These fetch hundreds of dollars.
1950's handmade lugged steel road stem Made by RJ Florman out of St. Louis. Mr Florman was a many-time state champion, national champion and helped John Howard get his start in racing. (Thanks M. Smith)
"Veloroma" badged chromed steel stem
These are the very rare, earliest version Cinelli Model 64, Giro D'Italia 40 cm wide alloy bars which were produced without anodization. Note the 2 knurled bands on the ferrule, and the "MADE IN ITALY" decal. Unexplainably, they measure nominally 26.0 mm rather than 26.4 mm at the clamping surface. They are marked, "64" at the bar end.
Cinelli Model 14 chromed steel track bars with engraved crests. It is common to see weak logos- don't assume that these have been rechromed.
Cinelli stems with badges
The German company Scheeren made bars and stems as well as super-light wood-filled tubular rims.
Belgian company Titan made some beautiful stems like this chromed steel underslung track stem.
