Any interest in fabricated ones?  I have a silver steel Alico that's very light, probably a Syncros aluminum.

I doubt either is quite old enough to be correct for your project.  The Alico has one pinch bolt and is about 100g lighter than a Ritchey (Nitto) Force, which is a pretty well regarded stem.  It has the aluminum wedge, and lightening holes in both the wedge and the quill.  Syncros was used by the Coors Light road team in the mid 1990s.  Syncros in pic isn't mine and pretty well worn, but typical of the construction.  I have some black ones and some polished.

I can look for something older, just knew these were two that I have on hand in 120 mm.
