fixer Isn't that the Campagnolo Cambio Corsa? It's not fixed, it's not even ss.
I think it's a bit of myth that tour riders ever used fixed, the flipflop hubs would have been ss on both sides.
No idea about retro stuff.

"The event was in its fourth year before a competitor risked riding on one of the new-fangled BSA freewheels!"
"Woodland quotes a 1920 report from one Vernon Blake detailing a gear setup which would make good sense today: a flip-flop hub with 65" and 48" gears, often double-fixed, but with many riders preferring a freewheel on the larger cog for fast descents."
