Antique Dresden violin
« on: February 11, 2004, 10:09:38 pm »
I have a very old violin that has been in its case for many decades. The case is worn-looking, but the violin is gorgeous. Has never been played in my almost 60 years. Before that, I don't know...

 The only name I can find on it is "Dresden."  It came down the family line from well-to-do ancestors who were from a family in England.  The last one who died would be about 140 yrs. old now.

Any guesses as to what this violin's history might be or how much it's worth?  I know Dresden was destroyed in WWII, so it has to be older than that, I believe.

Thanks,
A Newbie here...
