While doing some cleaning, My mom came across my great grandfather's violin and we were curious about it's age/value. All my mom knows is that he had it when my grandfather was born, so it's from at least the 1910's/20s. I've been looking for reputable luthiers in my area, but in the meantime, figured I'd ask online to see if someone might know. As far as I could see, there were no identification marks on it

Thanks for your time.

While doing a bit of cleaning through my mom's office, we found my great grandfather's violin. According to my mom, my grandfather swore it was a Stradivarius, but she's pretty sure he was wrong. I saw no kind of identifying marks or anything on the inside.

I was just curious if any of you could tell me anything about it, or at least point me in the right direction, it's well over 100 years old at the very least, as my great grandfather had it for decades before my grandfather was even born, and he was born in 1902, and I'd love to be able to uncover some history about it.

Thank you again, and apologies if this isn't the right subreddit to post this kind of thing.
