This old fiddle was found by an antique/ fossil collecting friend that does all my tattoos.. I traded him one of my new builds for it. Not sure on its age , but it is the oldest fiddle I have ever seen. The tail piece is from an animal bone.. thinking Civil War era??? Any input from any of you would be great!

Wow, what a beauty! *****
I agree on it being a treasure - and a good trade. I would be tempted to try making it a playable cbg wihout changing the look. Maybe a 2 string.
its at least 80 to 100 years old, lots of them pop up on ebay, keep it...its a treasure!
