It’s a real Stradivarius, just not the $100,000 one.
There are some on eBay. One in this condition sold for $50. They sell for $500 and higher in good condition.

They are basically student instruments. Stradivarius made all kinds, not just high dollar instruments.

I’d be skeptical of the authenticity of the Eastern glasses.

Lotsa repops of those type of things.

You don’t have much invested in it so no big deal.

They are not that valuable, sell for about $6 each (just looked them up). I don’t think people are making counterfeit $6 glasses

I'll give you $11 for that cast iron if there's no rust or cracks

As usual, mostly garbage. I’ll let you know next time I’m throwing out garbage and you can come pay for it

My dad found a Stradivarius in his parents attic a few years ago. Had it brought in and it turned out to be fake. I didn't know they had student grade models.

Is the moka pot a Bialetti or another brand?

The Junior espresso is a push. The Nikon and the Rainbow should cover what you spent today.

No, He didnt. Companies were able to use the name. That's probably a Czech model. There is no world in which Stradavarius himself made the instrument you have photographed. None.

Now does that mean for what you're doing you got a bad deal? No. You're still going to make a good profit off selling that cheapo.

But I don't even need to see that in person to tell you that thing is cheap junk as far violins go. You've got a Chinese made Squier Strat there my friend. Nothing more.

That d3200 certainly isn't garbage. I hope the original owner replaced it with a d4. Getting rid of a real camera is silly.

After an exhaustive 5 minutes on the Googles, I can’t find any appreciable Airline-related repops so I’ll agree with your thought that the Eastern Airlines glass is legit.

I’d drink at the house from a similar glass.

Well, not really. But you did pay $2 for that and with some cleaning and a tune up you'll make a nice little return on that $2 easy. Well done sir.
