fancy lugs
The 1950's saw the popularity of some wonderfully ornate and beautiful lugs in the UK. Among the builders utilizing these gorgeous creations, the better known include Ephgrave, Bill Hurlow, Claude Butler, Gillott. Even larger scale builders, such as Carlton, used fancy lugs on some models.
since this is a favorite topic of mine, and probably others, let me share a few examples...
