I am looking for details of a photographic paper called
"nostalgia", including maker. What other papers are
there for printing old negatives (c 1920?) Thanks in advance

Editor's Note: An extensive search of photographic paper manufacturer's web sites did not produce any enlarging paper named Nostalgia.
What you are seeking - rich warm-tones and cream colored or off-white paper - is characteristic of chloro-bromide photographic papers. Kodak's recently discontinued Ektalure is one example. Silverprint in London has stockpiled Ektalure. Silverprint also carries several Forte brand warm-toned papers manufactured in Hungary.
Kentmere in the United Kingdom produces a warm-toned chloro-bromide paper called Art Classic which " is equally suitable for the sympathetic copying of old prints, giving a delightful 'period' feel." (quote from Kentmere web site.) Kentmere products are distributed in the United States by Luminos Photo Corp. (and are relabeled with the Luminos brand.)
Cachet Fine Art Photographic Papers manufactures several warm-toned papers suitable for printing old negatives, giving them a look from the past.
