Being a Librarian I felt compelled to identify, index & catalogue the ornaments, borders, corners & blocks in the type cases of the Red Eel Press. You can explore the index in more detail over at www.redeelpress.co.uk/ornaments, which I will be expanding & adding to on a regular basis.

I used my growing collection of specimen books & a couple which are available online to help with the task:

Caslon Letter Foundry, The (1953) Specimens of printing types from Stephenson Blake: the Caslon Letter Foundry Sheffield, Sheffield, The Caslon Letter Foundry

Lanston Monotype Machine Company (1917) Monotype borders & ornaments​, [Philadelphia], Lanston Monotype Machine Company

Lanston Monotype Machine Company (1922) The Monotype specimen book of type faces​, Philadelphia, Lanston Monotype Machine Company

Monotype Corporation Limited, The (1948) Specimens of the typefaces, borders, ornaments, rules & other material cast on 'Monotype' type composing & casting machines, London, The Monotype Corporation Limited

Stephenson, Blake & Co. Ltd (1932) Printing types: borders, initials, electros, brass rules, spacing material​, Sheffield, Stephenson, Blake & Co. Ltd
