thank you both
Gazebo, with Judy.
Used a rattly old 8x10 Kodak 2-D.
Used a 250mm f:3.4 Wollaston Meniscus, with a YG (yellow green filter), f:11@6 sec., f:5.6@2 sec, & f:4.0@1 sec.
The f:5.6 photo got hit with a burst of low angle sunlight just as I made the exposure...
The f:4.0 photo was on old pebble surface paper, for a bit of extra "character". (Sorry for the light leaks).
15 minutes in Ansco 130, diluted 1+15, plus 5 ml/liter of print developing restrainer for longer developing time & better contrast control.

I've got a lot of material around here on paper negatives from Peteren's, Darkroom Techniques, books, etc. Results vary depending on many things, like those already mentioned, but also the type/size of fibers -- if any -- in the paper. And make sure you DON'T use a paper that has a company imprint on the backside.
11x14 Paper negative with simple lighting - negative suffered badly from Bromide drag rendering it unusable for contact printing. but it scanned OK.
