first type of WE inductor that you think about was an expensive 241 type inductor.
241 type are very nice inductors and support high current rating in some models.
Use in famous WE amplifiers like 118A, etc.

or low power amplifier, you can use 274 type inductors with lower cost too.  
Combination with 307 type inductor too.
Aluminium enclosure with engraved model & date codes.
Also has screened version.
