I have a similar label on my violin except the date reads 1726. These violins were made in Germany quite possibly Mittenwald, in the 1880s. The instrument if fixed properly and in good working condition should sound a lot better than the cheap merchandise that's being made today. You might want to bring it to a professional luthier for evaluation. Here is the link for an auction a few years back for a violin with nearly the same label.

I hope this answers your question. Good luck.
How much is a nicalus amatus fecit in caremona 16 worth
would like to know what my Nicolaus Amatus fecit in Cremona 1645 is worth.
Nicolaus Amatus violins were produced in the mid to late 1600s. Since then, many reproductions have been made. The chance of owning a 400 year old violin is slim to none, check with an antique specialist for authentication.
any pawn or music shop if it's not a fake...
It wouldn't be worth the $15million that was mentioned, however, an original Amati, depending on condition, would go for several hundred thousand to a million or so. They are rare. I own an original, incase you are wondering how I know.

Feci is the third principle part of the verb facio, or to do/make. Because it has a t at the end, that means it is in the perfect tense, 3rd person. So fecit means he/she/it made/has made or did/has done.
The value of a Laurentius Storioni violin made in Cremona in 1782 can vary significantly based on its condition, provenance, and market demand. Generally, well-preserved examples can range from tens of thousands to over a hundred thousand dollars. For an accurate appraisal, it's best to consult a professional violin appraiser or an auction house specializing in fine instruments.
The value of a Joseph Guarnorius violin from Cremona, made in 1716, can vary significantly based on its condition, provenance, and authenticity, typically ranging from several hundred thousand to several million dollars. The inclusion of strings and a case adds some value but is generally minor compared to the instrument's overall worth. To determine a precise value, a professional appraisal by a reputable expert or auction house is recommended.
The liklihood is that this instrument is a fake. But, there is a remote possibility that it might be genuine. You need to have it looked at by Christie's in New York or London to ascertain it's authenticity or otherwise. If I handled the item, I would be able to immediately confirm it's age but I cannot tell you how to do it yourself. It has taken me 54 years of buying and selling every conceivable type of item to be able to to pass an accurate assessment of an item.

Not sure what language that is, but it looks like it could either mean happy 19th birthday....or happy 19th year.
The inscription 'Sanctus Serathin utinensis tecit venetijs anno 1730' contains some errors. The words most likely are 'Seraphim', 'fecit', and 'venetii'. So the correct inscription is the following: 'Sanctus Seraphim utinensis fecit Venetii anno 1730'. The word-by-word translation is as follows: 'Sanctus' means 'Saint'; 'Seraphim' means 'Seraphim'; 'utinensis' means 'tools'; 'fecit' means 'made'; 'Venetii' means 'Venice'; and 'anno' means 'year'. The meaning therefore is as follows: Made with the tools of St Seraphim, Venice, 1730.
The translation of the phrase "Deus nobis haec otia fecit" is "God has given us this tranquility."
The Latin sentence 'Dominus fecit' may mean The Lord has made. Or it may mean The Lord has acted. In the word-by-word translation, the noun 'Dominus' means 'Lord'. The verb 'fecit' means '[he/she/it] acts or makes, does act or make, is acting or making'.
