In playable condition, a replica is worth around $200.
Antonio Stradivari made violins, violas, and cellos until his death in 1737. I myself have an authentic 1737 Stradivarius violin, though the ones made between 1666 and 1700 are priced much higher.
A copy of a 1721 Stradivarius violin is actually not worth very much. On the retail market they can be found for about $175 to $400.
I'm not sure exactly how much but I know it can be up to about 5 million dollars.

If authentic, it would sell in the millions of dollars. However, it is unlikely to be an authentic Stradivarius. The Stradivarius model has become the most standard violin model to copy, and many German factory makers of the late 19th to mid 20th century especially put the name Stradivarius with a year on their instruments. If it would be one of these instruments, it could still be worth between $1000 and $3000 dollars.

If you find a violin with the label "Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis" don't get excited too quickly. It is nearly certain that it is not genuine. Sometimes violin makers who would put the names of other makers on their own violins to increase the price. Also restorers often use labels, sometimes genuine, but often forged, in instruments, and there is a big business in labels. Violin experts do not judge the value of a violin by its label. The label may even be missing from a genuine violin; it is almost certainly to be found on a forgery. A label might read: Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis Faciebat Anno 17 The name Cremonensis will probably include the long s that looks rather like an f: Cremonenfis. This might be followed by circles with crosses, initials or other signs. These are made to be completed at the time the instrument is finished. The violin maker did not wish to have new labels printed each year, so the rest of the date is written by hand. A completed label should read "... Anno 1715" or "... Anno 1707", or at least an year of the 18th century. Some of these violins cannot be called fakes. For example a label like: Antonius Stradivarius Cremonensis / Faciebat Anno 1721 / Made in BohemiaThis is more like a joke than a forgery, like finding a coin with the abbreviation B. C. stamped on it. Stradivarius never learnt English, and all his labels were printed in Latin.
Due to the fact that Antonius Stradivarius was born in 1644, I don't think it would be worth much. :)

In short, priceless. If this is a genuine Stradivari Violin, it will be worth well over $3,000,000 at auction, according to the research I've done due to having found one of these from my deceased grandparents, who themselves have had it in their family for over 160 years. The first thing you will need to do is to have it appraised and find out if it is indeed genuine. The problem is that almost all of the 600 or so instuments made by Antonio Stradivari are accounted for. That in combination with the fact that it is perfectly legal for any violinmaker to put a label like the one you mention inside his instruments ,as long as he doesn't try to sell the instrument as the genuine article,make it EXTREMELY unlikely that your violin is anything more than an instrument made "in the style of". That being said ,your viloin could still have substantial value.Many "copies" of Stradivari violins are themselves worth many thousands of dollars .The only way to tell for sure is to have a qualified luthier look at your instrument, again keeping in mind that the likelihood of it being a genuine Stradivari would something in the neighborhood of one in a Trillion.
A real one is worth in the millions. However, the chance of finding a previously unknown Strad is astronomical whereas coming across a modern copy, worth less than $2000, is extremely common, just check out Ebay. Except for a few stolen Strads only 500 or so originals remain and their locations are known.
About 75% of the original price.
it depends on the age, type, and quality of the viola
