Question
Hi,

I was recently given 4 framed needle points from a GREAT Aunt that were handed down to her. I'd like to get an idea about them and what they may be worth. One was given to her in 1941 and states on the back was 80 years old then. I live in Long Beach, California. Do you know of anyone that could take a look at them for me?

Thanks in advance for your response!

Answer
Rich,

For appraisals and information on antique needlepoints, I always recommend contacting The American Needlepoint Guild (www.needlepoint.org).  They should be able to steer you in the right direction.

Hope this helps,
