With violins a lot depends on how it sounds, violins of this type with "Strad" markings varies a great deal.  In this case "G.A. Pfretzschner" in this context is a fictional name affixed to a label as a "brand." Like Pontiac or Buick are trade names, at auction they generally sellfor under $250.00.
