Interesting vintage / antique miniature violin with fitted carrying case:
~ Mini, scale model replica instrument
~ It doesn't "play" music or notes - intended for novelty purposes only
~ Complete with case, bow, and little tool that was in the compartment
~ Ready and waiting for your display, collection, and/or gift giving
ESTIMATED AGE OR ERA = True antique / vintage piece - due to lack of marks and timeless theme it is hard to say for certain
METAL AND/OR MATERIAL = Mixed - violin is wood, case is red velvet lined and looks to have a tape type material material covered exterior
CLOSURE/CLASP = Two flip closures
MARKS = None that I could find
MEASUREMENTS = Case measures 11 1/2" long x 3 1/2" wide - instrument is aprox 9" long x 3" wide
US RING SIZE = x
WEIGHT = x
INVENTORY NUMBER = x
CONDITION = Acceptable vintage condition - given the age and rarity. The instrument itself and accessories look to be in great shape - the carrying case closes fine but doesn't latch well. The latches do insert where they are supposed to - but fail to secure when you flip up the hasps. I am sure it is an easy fix and just needs some tweaking or similar. In an excellent state of preservation overall.
"A picture is worth a thousand words"
Please view & enlarge photographs to closely inspect fine details and to determine the amount of patina and/or wear. Most older pieces by nature normally have some degree of both and, unless severe, aren't considered damaged and not mentioned. Individuals do have varying levels of desire and tolerance for "vintage charm" so do utilize the scroll arrows beside the photos to allow yourself the opportunity to view them all, as they are an integral part and extension of the description.
