Vintage Acoustic Violin with Bow

This is a full-sized or fractional vintage acoustic violin, likely of European or American student-grade origin, characterized by a traditional honey-brown to dark amber varnish. The instrument features a carved spruce top with visible vertical grain and what appears to be a maple back and sides. The fittings, including the fingerboard, tailpiece, and chin rest, are dark, likely stained hardwood or ebony. Notable features include standard F-holes and a four-string configuration, though only one string is currently attached. The condition is poor to fair; the bridge is missing, the strings are mostly absent, and the tailpiece is unanchored. There are visible surface scuffs, significant dust accumulation, and finish wear consistent with mid-20th-century age (circa 1930s-1970s). The purfling appears inlaid, a sign of decent initial construction, but the lack of proper storage has led to mechanical instability. A bow with dark wood and white horsehair is positioned behind the instrument. No internal maker's labels are visible in the provided angle.
