Early Western Electric audio amplifier designs from the 20âs, used through the 50âs, implemented the Retard Coil, later known as a plate choke.  In the early days these were low current and very high quality.  This coil is actually made by Western Electric.  Hard-to-find gems like this are harder for us to find.
