Default matching old plaster texture

My house has was built 1928. The texture on the walls is like a
flattened popcorn effect.

Does anyone know any supply house who makes tools to texture, or kits?

The wall is gypsum. I've tried the brushs the sponges and I'm not
getting close. I'll probably have to just figure out a method - I think
I have to sand the points down ( I'm using plaster of paris) after it
hardens. The only problem is I can't get the markations to be broad
enough.

(FYI) You cannot get a plaster guy around here to show up!
