Now that you've got an idea of the mechanics, the next question is what the lens actually does for the OOF parts of the image. Modern lenses generally do not have very special bokeh because they are all too well corrected. Here are a few examples of pix with various vintage lenses known for their bokeh rendering.
Wow, these are great!!! Now I want to go shopping for vintage lenses.

Hello,
Just browsing through the old topics.
Sometimes one can find some helpful tips that way...
Your images are great, very artistic.
It's pretty amazing what can be achieved when a person knows what to use and how...
Thanks for sharing!

If you are thinking of getting into this it is important to do some research and find out which lenses are suitable. Not all vintage lenses produce unique bokeh effects, and among the ones that do the bokeh rendering varies quite a bit.
It’s also worth noting that nice bokeh effects happen only under a limited set of conditions—how close you are focused and what is in the background and how far it is away from the subject. Many of these lenses are quite mediocre if used for normal photography.
