midcentury Levi's silkscreened banner (1950s)

yo yo yo, caught this on the Antiques Roadshow, by far my guiltiest pleasure on television. This silkscreened on denim banner came out of a general store in Camp Verde, Arizona and was valued at $1800-2000. I guess that episode was a rerun from 2006, so I would expect to go for slightly less now, but holy shit, I would LOVE to own that thing! This bad larry is 10 feet long and from the 1950s.

Wrangler placed these little books on their tags in the Forties and Fifties. I need these!

Levi's ad (1979?)

is this fake 1979 or so dated that it seems fake? I don't remember from whence on the Intermanetz this was pilfered.

Greensboro, NC- home of Cone Denim (1910s)

This old postcard trumpets Greensboro, NC as the home of the legendary Cone Mills, the supplier of denim to Levi's and others for over 100 years. You don't see many postcards proudly declaring a town as the home of VapoRub or Mojud Ladies Hosiery anymore.
