Costs more, but won't mar your finish.

Minoura has a stainless steel mount which I have used on several steel frames.

That Zefal Gizmo clamp that Nashbar has is nice. Have one on a carbon frame tube. It will work with any cage, but Zefal cages fit especially well on it.

Another vote for the Gizmo by Zefal. Easy to use, very clean looking once installed, and does not look like an add on. You can see mine, sort of by clicking on the Falcon link in my sig. The cage on the seat tube is installed using a Gizmo.

I have a REG steel water bottle cage with the spring clamp that comes with built on frame clamps for the days when good Italian frame nevers had braze-ons. I love it.

You have seen my solution.
... Minoura clamps with ordinary aluminum bottle holders. All I need to complete the vintage illusion is aluminum bottles with corks.

I am going to commit extreme heracy and suggest a real modification. I added a bike cage to my daughters steel frame bike using an industrial product called Rivnuts. Think of a poprivit with an internal threaded core to take a screw.

A decent fastener store carries them in a variety of sizes. You can make/buy a small adaptor that will enable you to set them using an ordinary pop rivit gun, or visit a local machine shop and pay them a few $$.
You probably would not want to do this on an alloy frame, but an older steel frame is unlikely to be damaged by a pair of 1/4" holes.

I don't know where you get the equipment, but I've seen a few vintage/single-speed guys around here use cages mounted to the back of a brooks-style saddle. I've also seen some handlebar arrangements that use some of the rubber clamps as shown above to attach more modern aluminum cages that fit braze-ons.
Good luck!

If you want to keep the vintage look, I'd just use what vintage bikes came with:
