Description: Handsome John Juzek 3/4 Size Vintage Violin With Wooden Bow and Hard Case Violin is marked with a serial # on one side and has information on the back of neck. It also has number markings on the base. Based on our research, we believe that this violin was made pre-WWII, possibly pre-1930. Please review the information below that we found from online sources to make your own determination about its origins. Label inside body says: Made in Prague, Czech. Has 4 wooden pegs and beautiful curled top. Fret board has round paper sticker labels - likely put there for student learning. They can be removed prior to cleaning and polishing. We did not clean this instrument for fear of damaging the finish. It is in original, untouched condition. Case exterior is marked NYC Bd. of Ed. and dated 1965. Also has #62 written on it and a foil label inside that says Lifton, USA. MEASUREMENTS: VIOLIN is about 22" long by 7-1/2" wide at lower body, 6-1/8" wide at upper body. CASE is 28-1/4" long by 9-1/4" wide at lower body, 4-1/4" wide at top. Case is about 4-1/2" deep. Handle is 5-1/4" wide. WOOD BOW is about 25-3/4" long. WEIGHS 4 lbs. 8 ozs. CONDITION: Violin condition: In good vintage/antique condition. Shows wear from age and use. Has good bones. The good thing is that there are no visible cracks or splits in the wood. We checked it over several times. All of the major parts are there. Neck looks straight and the one piece back looks even. However, it needs some TLC/work. Strings are old and need to be replaced. Wood has significant scuffs so refinishing or a deep wood conditioning is likely required. Bridge area needs to be checked for tightening. The wooden bow needs re-stringing and a good cleaning. This instrument has been properly kept in a climate controlled storage area. Case condition: Frame is good in regards to having no dents or push ins and the lid aligns with the base. Lock does not work but 2 hinged closures work to keep case closed. They have rust and are scuffed. The outer faux alligator print covering and inside green plush fur lining are in poor to fair condition from age, wear, and use. This item is sold "as is". We do not accept returns on collectible, unique, vintage items due to the risk that they may be damaged or lost while in transit of being returned. We safely pack all loose parts and we insure all items when shipped. We ship world-wide. RESEARCH INFO: "In the early 1900's, John Juzek ran a factory in Schonbach, Czechoslovakia (renamed Luby after World War II), where John Juzek labeled instruments were crafted. The John Juzek imprint on the label inside the F-holes reflect an import-to-U.S trade name, not the craftsman. The city and country imprint reflects the location of Juzek's shops, which were mostly in Prague before World War II. The instruments were sold in North America, mostly in New York City area, and exclusively through Metropolitan Music Company, a New York City firm founded in 1920 by Robert J. Juzek. It was originally called Czechoslovak Musical Instruments Co." Production Dates: 1920 to 1941 -Prague & Schonbach, Chz. 1941 to ? -Germany This violin is marked "Prague" inside.

Requests must sent within 14 DAYS of DELIVERY DATE. AFTER 14 days, they will not be honored. When consumers buy goods in person, they can inspect the goods at the point of sale. We understand that when shopping from an e-commerce store, there may be uncertainties since one can not touch, feel, or inspect the item. To combat this, smart shoppers ask questions to clarify any concerns before deciding to make a purchase. Unlike big box retailers, small businesses can not write off returns and damaged goods. DAMAGED DELIVERY: Contact us as soon as possible. Take at least 5 CLEAR, close-up photos showing damage to the item, damage to the shipping box, the shipping label, and the packing materials. According to the carriers policies, either party can submit an insurance claim. We will handle it for you if you send us the required photos. Carriers also require that you SAVE and HOLD the damaged item with ALL of the packing and the shipping box until they process the claim. Once approved, we'll let you know when it's okay to dispose of the broken item. Carriers may request to inspect the damaged item before reimbursement. If they ask to review it, you will be asked to bring the damaged item original shipping box with the packing to your local post office.
