I still have my 1970's Condor catalog (Oh the benefit of being a packrat and never throwing anything away!) and if I remember correctly three different styles of fancy lugs are illustrated and were no doubt still available in the 1970's (albeit at a higher price). I can't remember if each style had an individual name but I do remember the catalog was a nice shade of purple! I'll try to dig it up again tonight.
