Description
This is an antique violin with 2 bows, rosin, tuning fork, case, key for case, and some other accessories and memorabilia.Has been in my family for many generations, but no current relatives (including myself) know how to play.
Being sold in as-is condition because I'm sure I would make it worse if I tried to clean it or restore it or try to play it.
Was probably last played by my great grandparents in the 1920's, who were British and who migrated to Canada about that time.
Badge on the case says:
"The Maidstone"
"John G. Murdoch & Co., Ld., London"
If nothing else, its an interesting conversation piece!
Happy to answer questions, but that's about all I know.
UPDATES:
Length of the body from end-to-end along the back is apx. 14" inches.
Length of the entire instrument from end of the neck to the bottom of the body is apx. 23" inches.
Length of the case is 31" inches end-to-end
I have been told by interested ebayers that this is most likely a "7/8" violin.
