Nitto Bottle Cages for classic ride - alternatives?

Hi All

I love the look of the thin alloy bottle cages made by Nitto BUT they are super pricey. Examples here

Any alternative ideas on a more pocket friendly but equally nice cage for my classic ride??

Thanks!

Andy

I really like the King bottle cages. https://www.kingcage.com/products-waterbottle-cages.html

Classic look, and for $18 for the stainless, a bargain. Also made in USA.

Andy, I have a set of 4.5 mm Avenir cages on a couple of bikes. Their shape is the basic cage, however.
