Has been used but not abused straight violin, I wouldn't like to have a valuation on it because I have no idea what it is worth but I am hoping that it's a lot!!

Hi Kevin,
Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
Violin labels are notoriously unreliable but the printed label suggests a late 19th or early 20th Century date of manufacture. The wear to the varnish suggests some age, which is a good thing.
