This is unreal! An old pair of vintage Levi's was found in a mine in California. The jeans were covered in wax, with an old paper bag with the name of a mercantile store which operated between 1895 and 1898.
Then eBay came into the picture.The bid for the old Levi's went up to $17,000, and it's still going!
My goodness! What is this obsession with vintage items? Do you find your clothes worth thousands of dollars in a 100 years? If you do, I say save them for your kids!
