The world바카라™s 바카라œoldest바카라 known pair of jeans in the world has been sold for whooping 114, 000 US dollars(94 lakhs), according to the AP report.

It said the jeans was pulled from a sunken trunk at an 1857 shipwreck off the coast of North Carolina.

The work pants as per the auction officials are the oldest known pair of jeans in the world .

The report said the pair of jeans is a white, heavy-duty miner바카라™s pants with a five-button fly were among 270 Gold Rush-era artifacts that sold for a total of nearly $1 million in Reno last weekend, according to Holabird Western American Collections.

However, it mentioned that there바카라™s disagreement about whether the pricey pants have any ties to the father of modern-day blue jeans, Levi Strauss, as they predate by 16 years the first pair officially manufactured by his San Francisco-based Levi Strauss & Co. in 1873.Ā 

바카라œSome say historical evidence suggests there are links to Strauss, who was a wealthy wholesaler of dry goods at the time, and the pants could be a very early version of what would become the iconic jeans바카라, it stated.

But the company바카라™s historian and archive director, Tracey Panek, says any claims about their origin are 바카라œspeculation", the report said.

Regardless of their origin, there바카라™s no denying the pants were made before the S.S. Central America sank in a hurricane on Sept. 12, 1857, packed with passengers who began their journey in San Francisco and were on their way to New York via Panama, it mentioned.

It added: there바카라™s no indication older work pants dating to the Gold Rush-era exist.
