My guess would be that, if it is in very good shape, it might be worth a pretty penny. But, I can't tell you that for sure, since I haven't seen it. The value depends on the condition it is in, and how well it has been cared for.

You need to take it to a music store(preferrably one that deals specifically with string instruments), and get it appraised by their professional. If they don't employ one, they can probably refer you to one.

Appraisal isn't something you can do sight unseen, or even by looking at a picture. You have to be able to see it up close and personal, and hold it and examine it closely.

The violin has to be examined by a luthier to determine its value; it cannot be done over the internet, sight unseen.
