1965 Baekgaard and Butler "Sin Fiddle"

[Anthonychachi]

I have a 1965 baekgaard and butler "sin fiddle". I have tried to find out more information on google, but with no luck.  From the card on the inside and the setup of the case, it appears to NOT be used for carrying a violin, but perhaps carrying bottles of liquor?

Does anyone have any clues to what this is and possibly a price on this item?

Me thinks it is exactly what you said it is, .... for per se "smuggling" those items (whiskey) that others consider "sinful".

Me agree as well!

Anyone have any idea of what the price could be if I wanted to sell it?

Baekgaard & Butler LTD was a gift distributing company in Glenview Ill. They made everything from branding irons for your steak to cocktail shakers to puzzles !! My opinion on the value of your sin fiddle case would be between $30. and $50. !!

Sounds good Mart, but I bet it would sell faster and garner the money if it was sold to actually hold a fiddle.  I would say TOPS would be $30 these days here in the city!

Yes indeed !! If sold to hold a fiddle, even a student size would likely be $75. to $100.  The value I put on it was because it is bar related and that is a pretty hot category !! And because it something not everyone has !!
