The GB spearpoint design looks great, is PC, and is a great fit on a British frame. They came in aluminum ("Hiduminium") and lightweight steel (Reynolds 531 and Accles & Pollack Kromo). I also really like the Belgian Titan, but they have their own diameter so you'd have to get a Titan handlebar along with it. Those are pretty cool too. Perhaps the cheapest and most common option would be a French stem: Pivo, Belleri, AVA, Philippe, Milremo, etc. I don't know their timelines but they produced the same models over many years. The stem is one of the most visible parts of a bike, so you want to get it right.
