Google translate says Geigenmaker = Violin maker.

Joh. Kulik on the web search resulted in http://www.justanswer.com/musi.....nside.html

Amati .com came up with http://www.amati.com/maker-arc.....word=Kulik

The Brompton’s Book of Violin & Bow Makers
Author: John Dilworth
KULIK, Johann Born 1800, died 1872 Prague Czech Republic Highly regarded maker of refined Cremonese models. Fine spirit varnish in appropriate shades. Particularly well-carved scrolls. Some eccentric small pattern instruments with deep ribs made to the suggestions of Leopold Savoi. Genau nach Antonius Stradivarius gemacht / von Johann Kulik,1852 Joh. Kulik. Geigenmacher in Prag. A. 18..

Hey samson7,

I hesitate to say, but if it's a real Kulik and in great shape, it can be very valuable. Having said that, selling an instrument like that is a whole different story. There are few real good appraisers that charge a nice fee to appraise it, but you won't be able to sell it for a good price without an official well documented appraisal from a respectable firm. Before doing so you'll probably want to show it to some local luthiers (if you have any) just to get an idea.
