Hi all, I have an old violin, in fact it's 146 years old. It has been handed down in our family for many generations, and the time has come to take it out of the cupboard that it's been residing in for years and pass it on to someone who appreciates such things. It's still in its case but has no strings, nor do the bows although both bows are there in the lid. My problem is I have no idea where to start to get some idea of its value, whether it be $50, less, or $500 or more,...

Nice shape, respectable 19th century copy, condition problematic. The bridge area looks as though it’s suffered somewhat in storage. Without strings and a strung bow so that you can assess the sound, it’s really impossible to say much… You might want to take it to a luthier. In the condition it is, I don’t think you would get much interest. I can’t in good conscience indicate a price… I’m sorry.
