      There actually a museum for Levi's. There are some really interesting videos on CZcams if you wanna learn/ see more. That's how I found this video. I just started my search with What did the first pairs of Levi look like and then Levi's from the 1800's. That's where I'm at now. I'm still looking.

      Cause they clearly ripped those people off. It was there own fault for not knowing but the 30s Levi's alone are worth thousands. My question is when was this episode filmed cause that could definitely affect the value of Levi's. 10 or 15 years ago they wouldn't have been worth as much as they are now

    Can't understand why when people find out what the items are actually worth they would handle all the profits over to a couple of dealers? Why not just sell them yourself now. And in reality who knows what they might actually really bring. I would just sell them on eBay being you would get the largest collector interest and they might go for a big fortune.
