[QUOTE="journeymagazine, post: 4387692, member: 84"]I found this cool old coffin shaped violin case with a old(?) violin in it at a local thrift store yesterday. I can tell the case is old, but the violin has no label inside of it - how can I tell how old it is and/or who made it? It also had 2 bows in it; 1 is longer & has Glasser written in the handle but the 2nd one also has no markings like the violin. I heard that some bows can be worth more than the violin - how do I find out who made the bow & how old it is? Any help would be greatly appreciated - I'm curious to find out what exactly I found!
