Maybe Kodak Double-X #5222 (EI200T, 250D) or Kodak Plus-X #5231 (EI 64T,
80D).
Both have been around for a very long time, I believe since the 1940s. I
ended
up using Double-X rated at 200asa. Tonality is nice and smooth. It's
amazing how beautiful true black and white motion picture film is when
you see it projected.
You'll never look at a black and white DVD or video the same. I've
thought of 
buying some of these stocks and bulkloading my own cartridges. That and
a nice
Summar or Elmar would probaly give you a nice period look.
