Default Calibration resistors

What structure/type of resistors would be best for purest R resistors to
make up and be measured with an accurate calibrated measurement bridge.
Normal off the shelf resistors that is, secondary standard level of accuracy
is not required.
Required a few, odd values like 374 ohm +/- 2 ohm , butactual values known
accurately to +/- 0.01%, in the range 20 ohm to 100K

You can buy 0.01% resistors, but they're not cheap!

Alternatively, there used to be a guy on eBay that sold resistor
kits-- He'd measure some wirewound resistors with a GOOD ohmmeter, and
mark them with their measured values, to 0.01% or so IIRC.
