My description of many of the items are based on his recollections.  Here, for your consideration, is an old violin with the original case. It belonged to my friend's mother and was handed down to him when he was around the age of 10, which would have been in 1932. There was a note found in the case (written by my friend's mother) that states "this violin was 92 years old in 1924". If true, that would date it back to 1832. In doing a little research, we believe this is a 3/4 violin as it is approx. 22" from end to end. It has a partial sticker, on the inside, and the word Germany is present. It appears that there was more to the sticker but is long gone. We think that the wood is maple, possibly tiger maple on the back and sides...not sure. It has two cracks that run straight down from each f hole (can be seen in pic) and the bridge has become detached from the face. It has, what we think is, the original bow. The case is in good shape for its age. It has a few nicks & tears but all hardware is all intact. Please email with any questions.  I have numerous other items listed and would be happy to combine shipping for multiple purchases.  Shipping is $15.00 via Parcel Post mail and includes insurance for U S residents.
