One item (a fabric bag with a button closure) has buttons that are seriously damaged, and residual frass. I've tentatively identified this as a horn button, and my guess is that this is damage from dermestid larvae. Wondering if anyone might be able to confirm that, or suggest another culprit? (note-- the fabric is not damaged) Thanks very much!
