    Certainly a good possiblity. The area is right and the time is too. What it's worth... no idea.

    You do understand that Fecit is not a name, right?

    Well, I accepted an offer of $650 for the violin on eBay after 3-4 offers for $300 - and I ended up donating the table and chairs back to my friend's thrift store - there was no response to them on FB and craigslist & I was having to keep them in my suv because we have no room in the house - and that made it hard to carry anything else!

    Sounds like a nice profit on the violin. I've got one of those tables; they're very well made, and nice wood, but lots heavier than a more modern folding table. I don't mind the weight because it just sits in the corner covered with native art, but I can see how there'd be very little resale value.
