I have a modolo 1" quill stem that dates from early 90s that used a hinged bar clamp to allow for easy bar mounting. It is not completely removable faceplate design like the more modern & common 2-bolt faceplate but looks like it uses a couple of links from a bike chain to form a hinge at the front and then also uses a standard single recessed clamp bolt. If you can find one, it would look more suitable on a vintage bike, direct fit for 26.0mm bars and 1" steer tube without adapters.
Here is an example, looks like they were sold as both TTT and modolo.
