Have now seen several pairs of 1901-1913 501's on various sites/in reference books, with a 'Solide' buckle on the cinch. The pairs from around the 1890's have the earlier plain wire buckles, so lm assuming the change in buckle type/suppliers must have been around 1900?
Sansome? Could you help me out here? |

Sometime after the turn of the century- I gots a feeling around the 1904-07 range? That's something I think I can narrow down.....Let me do some searching doc |

Still no hard data- but I suspect Levi added a back pocket- as early as 1899

Thanks for the help with the buckle.
I hope to get back to the discussion on the 1922-36 era 501's after seeing those 1930's pair from Greeperfierce. So 1899 is the possible date for the additional back pocket? At least Mr. Strauss was alive to see the improvement? |

It's possible- the 1901 catalog lists 2 hip pockets- catalog was put together in 1900- so we can assume in 1900- they had 2 hip pockets- what we're looking for is a #2 with a type 4 two horse brand.....we know type 5 two horse brand appears in 1900 and a type 4 2 horse brand was still being used in December 1898......mining in the west is really weak in the late 1890's- so 1897-1900 can be found in just a handful of spots. |

Sorry, nothing to add. Just absorbing the goodness.

Nowt wrong with a bit of vintage on a Sunday mate.
Whatever's left of them after Jack's trashed 'em, what will you do - put them in a frame?* (*in the spare room of course). |
