Bismarck
Bismarck, a very nice quality German hub. I'm not sure these huge flanges serve any actual function, but they look awesome.

From my Scapin - It came radial spoked, (bad juju). Had a local shop rebuild as 3 cross. Looks much better, and hopefully no cracks heading my way.

Not exactly vintage, but these Velo Orange Grand Cru hubs (aka Dia-Compe ENE) are what come on the Bianchi L'Eroica.

I've been collecting (mostly) high-flange hubs for a while now:
These are British Hub Company (BHC) Racelites:
BHC Airlites:
The seemingly indestructible steel-flanged BSA Continental de Luxe hubs:
Drilled Harden Hubs:
No discussion on high-flange hubs would be complete without the legendary Harden 'Bacon Slicers'. Here is a NOS pair:

Motobecane Le Champion (1972) version of the Tipo. Looks like Record but without the oil hole.

I have a couple of pair of Record's too. Here is one that was set up to run on my Langster:

Then the typical Tipo on the Bottecchia (1973)
