You do not find older double violin cases like this very often. The violin case was probably made in the early 1900s, could be a bit older than that.
Our guess is that the violin case is of American origination looking at the hardware. The violin case is ready to be refurbished/restored to its' former glory. Has a Corbin lock on it. No key comes with the lock.
The original handle is no longer with the case. Someone in the past has worked up and attached a makeshift handle made of wood and then leather strapping. We can therefore better control our acquisition costs, keep commission costs low (if applicable), and finally, we don't have the overhead that the higher end houses and art galleries experience. There is no label inside of the case or impressed on the case that identifies the maker.
The three metal hinges that secure the top to the base are in place. The pictures do not do justice to the beauty of this violin case. Nice dark black wood case. The top, bottom and sides of the case are intact. No cracks or repairs that we can ascertain. Some finish, paint loss to the wood case, still has a good look to it.Old green felt is still inside the case. The two violin bow holders are in place on the inside of the top as well. The Double Violin Case is 29-5/8" long, by 4-5/16" tall, by 12.5 across at the widest point (counts hinges & latches). Ready to be refurbished and brought back to it's former glory.
