123-Year-Old Levis Jeans Could Fetch Big Money At Auction - IceWizard - 11-06-2016 A 1936 Levi Strauss advertising. (PIERRE BOUSSEL/AFP/Getty Images) PORTLAND, Maine (CBS/AP) — There are vintage jeans. And then there are jeans from the American Wild West that are up for auction. A Maine auction house is putting up for bid a bona fide pair of Levi’s blue jeans bought in 1893. The 123-year-old pants were set to go up for auction Saturday in Lisbon Falls, Maine, and were expected to bring in tens of thousands of dollars due to their pristine condition. A technical glitch prevented the auction. It will be rescheduled for a later date. Daniel Buck Auctions and Appraisals says the jeans were ordered for Solomon Warner, who participated in the creation of the Arizona Territory. Warner wore them only a few times. The jeans ended up in a trunk. Warner was a big fella. The cotton jeans with button fly feature a size 44 waist and 36-inch inseam. Solomon Warner © Copyright 2016 The Associated Press.
