This violin belonged to my wife's aunt. We believe it was purchased new in 1956. It has been in its case most of the years since then. I recently had it restored to working condition at a local violin shop. I can send the receipt in request

All original parts are included in the case including some old paperwork. The owner of the violin shop that performed the repairs said it was a very nice violin and plays very well.
