I am trying to figure out date of a pair of Lee jeans that were cut off into shorts. Based on my research it appears they are Lees and were worn by military during World War II. Can anyone tell me for sure?

No I have not been able to.I believe these are wwii era civilian Lee jeans. Austerity measures enacted by the war production office limited decorative elements on civilian clothing in this era (e.g. Levi’s removed buckle backs, leather patches, and stitched rear pocket arctuates from their 501 jeans). This pair also features the laurel leaf and donut buttons that American workwear brands were required to use in this era (42-46). Were you able to determine the model?
Do you know where I can sell these?No I have not been able to.
