Violin 172 Years Old

Covington, Ga. – Capt. L.D. Brizendine, the well-known Central railroad 
conductor of this city, has in his possession a violin 172 years old.  This 
valued relic was made in France in the year 1735 and was brought to this 
country by one of Captain Brisendine’s ancestors several years prior to the 
American Revolution.

Although it has been in constant use for nearly two centuries, the instrument 
is in a state of almost perfect preservation.  Aside from the historical 
interest which attaches Captain Brisendine believes that his treasured relic 
has an intrinsic value that cannot be excelled by any violin extant.
