Here are a couple sites that have sheet music of old blues and ragtime.

scriptorium.lib.duke.edu/sheetmusic/browse.html
levysheetmusic.mse.jhu.edu/

Also, you can check the fingerstyle arrangements on my page:

A lot of early blues was written by white writers in the style of black
musicians and it often varies from the standard 12-bar format. You'll
find some really neat stuff if you follow the piano lines. One I
particularly like is "Livery Stable Blues"
