This set of old needle points came out of a storage I bought.There's a label that has "Holmes Art Gallery" New Orleans,La",I know they are Victorian couple.Anybody know this gallery,how old the needle points are,has nails in the back.

I wonder if that could have been a division of the Holmes department store on Canal Street?

Where are they ??  These are more 1940ish !!  Pic looks to be printed on a bark cloth type fabric !!  I didn`t see any hand stitching in the first pics !!  I think KC is right !!  Just decorative pics from the department store !!   They probably had a section of the store as a sort of gallery !!
