Not sure if this has already been posted, but here's a link to hi-res TIFFs of hundreds of pieces of woodblock style clip art--

Go under "Designs" and check out "Banners", "Corners", and "Doodads" for flourishes, frames, and ornaments. They're high enough res that you can easily convert them to vector using AutoTrace.

Here's some older clipart joints-

When it comes to stuff like that, I typically make a few alterations to the image & it's good enough for me to feel comfortable that I'm not ripping it off. I mean, most of those images are scanned from books that are over 100 years old--does a copywrite even stand up at that point?

I wouldn't vectorize them & sell them as your own, but I can't imagine anyone suing you if you used one as, say, a subdued grunge element in a background.

Thanks for elaborating.
