UPDATE:
The pants were found years ago by denim historian Michael Harris in an abandoned mine shaft, according to The Wall Street Journal.
Aside from the pants' wear and tear and what the buyers and Harris believe to be candle wax from the former wearer (a miner, they seem to believe), the jeans hold another piece of history — one that Levi's is likely to want to forget.
One of the faded pockets of the pants bears the phrase "The only kind made by white labor."
