Aha, thank you! I hadn't known about the Linotyping. The one I've been looking at is True Golden (http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/scriptorium/true-golden/)—the fontmaker seems to be a pretty competent artist type doing a lot of based-on stuff. They also do a "Kelmscott" font (http://new.myfonts.com/fonts/scriptorium/kelmscott/) based on the Chaucer type, which is certainly as readable in bulk as the original.
Golden double quotes I found are simple 6 or 9-shaped apostrophes, and I suspect are simply two singles together.
That's really interesting - the ones I found (though I had to check a couple of books, and eventually found them in the Keats) were more complex triple-lobed ones. I didn't find any singles to compare them with, but then I wasn't really looking. I shall have to do a more comprehensive survey when I get the chance.
