A photo wouldn't do justice to the case I inherited. Here is a video:
Wow! That reminds me of my old 20's era, German rescue! I still have the wooden case and rosin "rocks" that look just like what you have! I also have the wax paper which the strings came in! Talk about a time capsule!
NoirVelours, I seriously thought that mitten was for cleaning! LOL I've seen some mircrofiber "mittens" at the local auto parts store that were made for cleaning dashboards! Ya know, that actually might help clean the fiddle near the bridge and under the tail piece!
cdennyb, did that humidity tube come with the case?? I'm really considering something like that for my case now!
I love the stories that our cases tell in all these pictures!

Never have I wanted a "like" button so badly.

LOL, then you should see what's in my bass guitar case!
Mad Wed, I started out like that. But for some reason, I started collecting stuff here and there that helped me out! Now, I think I need a bigger case after seeing everyone else's!

Blimey, Dionysia, you have a little treasure trove going on in there. Check for some other compartments.....
You never know! You might find a hidden compartment with an ancient map leading you to a long, lost Stradivarius! ........ hey, wait?!? I should get into the movie writing business! LOL

I agree on the nail clipper, I lost my mid-long fingernails when I got my violin. I don't remember the last time I had nails so short! Have to clip them to be able to play with the tip of the fingers. Less of a problem for the bow hold, though the pinky with long nail makes it hard to have a secured non-slipping position... and well, long nails on a hand only looks meh!
