This violin was the property of Sandy's Dad. He received it sometime around the 1940's. The violin case that he kept it in was stamped Germany which would imply that it was made sometime after 1880 when the practice of marking country of origin started. So if this case and violin started life together, then they might be German made sometime between 1880 and 1940.
The violin was cracked and the finish was poor but there were no rattles or buzzes that would require opening the body so I left it closed and concentrated on the finish. The pegs all needed some adjustment and one was broken.
