Antique violin

[Paybackperiod]

Had this violin when I was a teenager, bought on eBay with savings. Label is extremely dated. I don’t know its worth but happy to listen to experts here

[Rothwein]

Very nice! "The Usual" but very symmetrical and probably well playable. 

The label is just a piece of paper with writing on. It only identifies that it is yours.

Have a bridge fitted and it'll sound like something.

Deciphering old labels can always be fun, even it doesn't lead anywhere.  Try shining a blue light on it.

The (obviously apocryphal) label appears to read:

Romeo Antoniazzi

Fece in Milano l'anno 1913

 

[Richf]

Good job!  It seems so obvious once you know.  And agreed, nothing to do with Antoniazzi.  But maybe French trade work?

The nice pegs with the brass diamond inlays are like what one can find at good Mirecourt work, but the rest looks like Mnk/Schb.
