Historical examples of serpentine-shaped /one

In embroidered samplers I've been studying, it was very common to make the figure /one with a "stroke" that curves a bit to the left at the bottom and to the right at the top (like a very compressed /S or an upright /integral).
In manuscripts and inscriptions I think I've seen /ones that look like /Js (that is, with a curve at the bottom), but I can't recall if I've seen this serpentine /one elsewhere.
Anyone know of examples ∫ -like /ones in lettering or type?
