Unknown English Violin

Possible English violin in moderate condition.  A few non-textbook repairs...but still holding.  The violin was in a state of rest for many years and has some maintenance that is needed before it can be played again.

Inscribed on the top, back and bass bar are "Repaired By R E Wright Feb 1928" with a small cartoon cat, all in pencil.
