Description
I picked this up at a garage sale. The older man who had it did not know anything about it. He said he got it at auction years ago. I paid very little. It seems old but I do not know. It has a lable inside.

Re: Old Amati? violin
The labels are fake on these, most were made in Europe 1900-1930, primairily Germany and sold through mail order catalogs. Some were very well made, but need a physical examine to determine their quality by playing.
Re: Old Amati? violin
Thank you. I did suspect it was fake lable The condition of the violin is not playable. It would need alot of repair. It did come in an old wood coffin case. Which I think was made in 1920. That was worth my $15.00 investment.
