Can you help me find out if a violin made by "William Lewis and Son" made in Germany. Has any value, could it be a collectors item? Actually we are thinking of purchasing this instrument for our grand daughter to take lessons on.

William Lewis and Son

Beitrag von Heidrun Eichler »

William Lewis and Son:
comes from Chicago, 1874. It is a famous workshop, founded in 1874 by the english violinmaker William Lewis. Since 1837 was Carl Becker in the company. They spezialised of making bows and string instruments. Later they had a music store and a store for music literature and notes.
You have to show the violin a violinmaker. Do you know about the problems with the labels?
