My great-great-grandfather made this violin

I’m hoping to learn more about this violin that’s been in my family for generations.
It was made by my great-great-grandfather, Lewis Lallathin (1879–1963), in southeastern Ohio. Family history says he built it using a tea kettle.
I’m curious if anyone here can tell me anything about the instrument, whether anything about its construction or craftsmanship stands out, what kind of tradition or style it may have come from, and whether it looks like something that could realistically be restored into a playable instrument or if it would be better preserved as a family heirloom. I’d appreciate any observations or insights you have!

Trying to avoid the Marketplace

I’ve successfully avoided using the new marketplace because I think it’s ridiculous to ask us for more money. Nothing has tempted me until I just saw Stiletto Slice by MADLEN.

Does anyone have curated maxis match cc they would be willing to share or links to download? I don’t have time to search everything so thought I’d ask.

Edit: I’ve been playing The Sims for 20+ years and obviously know how to find/install CC. I’ve spent hours CC shopping in the past and have shared my own curated CC lists before too. I was just asking if anyone had favorite Maxis Match collections or creator lists to save time since people used to share those all the time. If that’s not really a thing anymore, people could’ve just said that nicely instead of assuming I’m lazy or don’t know how CC works. Some of these replies are weirdly hostile for a pretty normal question.

Nellie Doll

I recently restored my 1994 Samantha and it has brought soooo much joy to my life. I just adore her. I’ve decided she must have Nellie to keep her company but she’s been impossible to find at an affordable price so far. Does anyone have any tips? I found this pictured doll for sale on fb marketplace $65… is this her same face? Thinking I could attempt to rewig. If I can’t afford to get an actual Nellie that may be my best bet. Any advice or thoughts would be appreciated!
