1920s John Juzek, any info?

March 11, 2016, 5:20 PM · I recently purchased a violin from a shop for $700. According to both the label and the owner it is a John Juzek from the 1920s, and would have been worth $2500 if not for a crack. Does anyone have any further info? Thanks!

And some pics:

Bought it for $600 way back in the early 80s and sold it within the last 10 years for about 3k. Pretty attractive instrument with a sweet tone but only a moderate amount of power.

At the price you paid, would consider that a bargain :)
