I have a pair of levi jeans that are 100 years old. They were my grandfathers when he was a child. He was born in 1911 and they fit a 2 year old, so we dated these to 1913. Ive had them looked at by Lynn Downey and all she could say was "How Precious" about 30 times in 15 minutes that we met together. She couldnt apraise them due to what she said "Conflict of Interest". I am needing a Levi's Expert to let me Know how much they are worth. If anyone can help it would be greatly apprciated. These are my mothers jeans by the way and I'm doing the research for her.I dont know how to upload an image from my computer cause it doesnt have a copy paste like every other site in the world. Really? why doesnt it have this option? I am now hating this site....It wont let me add only PIC cause the file is too big? it's only one picture! Fix this site please!
 
First of all, it is bad form to ask for help on one hand and criticize with the other.
There is nothing wrong with this site. I suggest you learn how to re-size your photos.
 
Bad form or not, this is the only site that makes someone resize thier pictures. So, on to other posts......these are the real deal. Like I said , Lynn Downey Herself...In person has seen these and just marveld at them. She told me to keep them in a non cotton pillow case and thats how they should be stored. I will try to resize my pics and I appreciate the advice . My pics are jpeg and i down loaded from my new phone to my comp. I dont think they were oversized to begin with, but ill try to figure this out. Thanks :)
 
You have the option to load an image as a thumbnail if the image is too large - and here are some hints on loading photos. We use Xenforo software, like many other forums. It's nice if you don't have to resize your photos but you've been living a sheltered life if you're never had to resize, I'm routinely resizing images to suit wherever it will be posted. It's not rocket science.

Did you read the FAQ: please read before you post your question? It will solve a lot of your issues - we can not tell you much about your item without photos and we are unable to offer appraisals, an expert needs to hold it in their hand. Lynn Downey should be able to advise you of someone, I imagine she knows people as she specialises in this area.

You'll catch more flies with honey.
 
Lynn Downey is also the curator for the Levi Strauss Co. so there would be a conflict of interest - she wouldn't be legally allowed to evaluate the jeans unless they had been donated to Levi's.
