[QUOTE="Gorn1120, post: 118699, member: 1705"][COLOR=#00b300]I had my sister buy it before anyone else had the chance. It may be a risk, but I feel it's worth it. I didn't get a chance to inspect it much, but I got it for $50! Paper said restoration cost was around $1,000 and would be worth about $3,500. I'll add pictures tomorrow, but here is some info: -Was owned by a man in the metro area of MN who worked on violins; I believe he passed away -It's from 1917 -Country of origin [B](should have that info tomorrow)[/B] -Needs new bridge -Has a case and two(?) bows Should I call the store and see if they have any additional information?[/COLOR] [COLOR=#00b300]*Browsing Google Images* :wideyed:[/COLOR][/QUOTE]
