Yes, there was a company with the name Van Cleef that made lamps in the 40's and 50's.
His character name was ANGEL EYES, his real name is LEE VAN CLEEF by telepole13 This is true in the U.S. version of the movie. Van Cleef died last century after a long, colorful career in the movie industry. However, in the Italian version of the movie, the title is a little different, and it might lead you to think that Eli Walsh (El torio) was the Bad. The Italian version of the promo relects THEIR order of the names...The Good, The Beast, and the Bad This has produced much confusion over the years.
The character's name is "Sinjin Van Cleef".

WHO PLAYED BUDDY OFF A GOOD MAN IS HARD TO FIND

There really is none. Even Clint played a bad guy in a back & forth over money.In the Western film 'The Good, the Bad and the Ugly' Clint Eastwood's character "Blondi" (or the "Man with no name") would be the hero as he is the film's protagonist although he is morally ambiguous .
"That name `Angel Eyes' in The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly; was that tailor-made specifically for you?" I asked."If it was in the script, I didn't see it," Van Cleef recalled, "and I'm usually pretty careful about giving scripts a close reading. I think Clint came out with it one day. It just kind of sprung out, and it was used ever since. I made no complaints about it. They've referred to me as that quite often in publicity since that time. I thought it was pretty good."
