Good camera for giving an old look?

[Age of Fable]

I'm planning a movie which will use a lot of footage from films now in the public domain. Most of the ones I want to use are black and white and silent.

Is there a particular camera (or other equipment) which is good for getting results that will match up easily with the 'sampled' footage?

I think this is something you want to do in post

Thanks. Is there any particular software that's good for getting that effect?
