OLD PAIR OF LEVI'S FOUND

A pair of Levi’s jeans – never worn – dating from the 1800’s, have been found. A man named Jock Taylor found them in a wooden trunk, owned by his great-great grandfather Solomon Warner, an Arizona pioneer from the 1800s. The trunk has been.handed down through the family. Taylor took the jeans to an antique appraiser who saw the familiar leather Levi’s tag. They look like brand-new blue jeans:
– Waist: 44, Length: 37.
– The exposed rivets mean they were older than 1937
– Suspender buttons indicated they were older than 1922, the first year for belt loops
– The single back pocket proved they were older than 1901
The appraiser dated them to 1893. They are worth a small fortune. Vintage denim can be worth thousands of dollars, and Levi’s often buys back its vintage clothing. The last pair of blue jeans that sold from the 1880s – that had been worn – were purchased by Levi’s for six figures. The pants are featured in the latest episode of “Strange Inheritance”, next Monday, April 3 on Fox Business Network.
* What we’ve learned is, Jock Taylor’s great-great grandfather was a pervert who walked around without pants.
* Not only does he have the pants, but he has the receipt from the store they were purchased: New Navy.
* You see, the store is called Old Navy, but a hundred years ago, it was still new, so they called it New Na- never mind.
* So, if you want to watch a pair of pants for half an hour, tune in to Fox Business Network next Monday.
* My old pants will be featured on the next episode of Spike TV’s “World Most Unusual Food Stains”.
* Darn, my jeans just look like they’re from the 1880s.
* Now the search is on for the very first pair of bellbottoms.
* Notice how any collectors’ items go for giant sums these days? It’s because the people at the top are tripping over the money.
* I tell you what: if you pay 6 figures for a pair of jeans you’re just tripping.
* They’re not Dad jeans. They’re great, great, great, great granddaddy jeans.

* PHONE TOPIC: What’s the strangest or coolest thing you’ve inherited?
