hello!!! these jeans are being auctioned on Ebay right now. They are from the 1890's and were found in some mine. The current bid is $17,000 and there is still half a day left.
This old pair of LEVI'S were found in a mine in the Rand Mining District, on the Mojave Desert,. California. They are covered in candlewax from the candle's the miner was using to light the tunnel he was working in. They were found with and old paper bag with the name of a mercantile store which operated between 1895 and 1898 in the town or Randsburg. Their was also a gunny sack with the initials A.P.K. and Randsburg marked on it. A.P.K. is through to be Adam P. Kuffel who was a partner in the mercantile store.
okay. one question. and i don't understand why anyone else isn't asking it... why did the miner take his pants off and lay them out so perfectly to be found 120 years later by an Ebay member? Or did he lay them out? Did he DIE in them? in that case, i can completley understand why the bid is so high. i didn't realize other people collected dead people, i thought that was just a personal quirk of mine.
