In other words, my guess would be carpet beetle larvae.

They are about 4mm each, and my first thought was some form of moth. We found three dozen of these casings(?) throughout a 1930s wedding veil we were processing. Despite being tightly packed with two dresses and another veil when they arrived, the casings were only found on this veil. The other garments appear to be synthetics, but I have not tested the fiber in either veil. No living bugs were spotted in any of the garments before or after freezing. I apologize for the picture quality, and thank you for your assistance.
