Beautiful antique violin from unknown maker with bow and case. My estimate on date without verification would be pre 1890/1930 due to no country of origin on label. Label is French and has unidentified makers? mark. Bow is marked XXX, which was used in both Germany and France.

No cracks, one corner has small chip, and various wear and scratching with age and use. Nice red varnish. Maple back. Not tested, part of a friends estate.

Most recent provenance was a fiddle player in Tennessee.

Discovered rattlesnake rattles in base- I will leave to buyer unless you want removed. 😄

Review photos and ask questions before bidding. No returns unles not as described.
