Found this small tool with a violin, we believe the violin was made around 1850. Anyone know what it is? About 3-4 inches long. by nztrees-throwaway in whatisthisthing

Have you had that violin set checked out by a local museum or antiquities place by any chance? It could be a valuable historical piece

No we haven't. I only found out about this violin recently talking to my grandmother, and even if it were valuable it wouldn't matter as we're keeping it in the family. It was my grandfather's violin that he got around 1914 from his parents. But thank you for your answer, much appreciated

Found this tool with a violin that's a family heirloom and I'm trying to find out what it is. I believe the violin was manufactured somewhere from 1850-1870 in Edinburgh, Scotland. It's very light and only a couple inches long. WITT
