I picked up this pair of Wranglers this week and I am having trouble dating them and ID'ing the model number.  They are pretty rough but the button fly is great and I love the look. Any information regarding when they were made, what the model is and what the value might be, would be awesome! Thanks guys! I am new here and I look forward to being a part of the community. I put the pictures on imagur: http://imgur.com/a/Uj8mC if you need to see them here, let me know and I will try to figure it out! Thank you again...

^Late 1940s/ early 1950s.

The label says 'Bluebell's Wrangler' (rather than just Wrangler) and the way the 'W' is written in the rope writing of the word is very early.
Just looking at the back shot of the pocket it says 1950's to me.
If they're a 'golden size' then worth a fair bit l'll wager.

Good score.

Thanks! Does the button fly make them rarer? 

They are pretty rough, there is a loose seam on the rear rise and they were hemmed up at some point in their life.  They measure about 18.5" straight across the back of the waist laid flat and the inseam measures about 28.5". not the greatest size but it could be worse!

I think it does.
The condition is good for the age (when value comes to mind). The size is ok, although a little short for some.
Reckon a collector may buy them, or someone who is roughly a 36 x 29. Got to be worth a few hundred bucks?

I'd be into those. I'd have to belt them a bit, but that's my exact length!
Sell me your Mister Freedom stuff. :)

Wrangler will be opening a store for the holidays in Greensboro, NC beginning November 30.  It will have their premium Cone White Oak cowboy cut jeans model called the 27406, sewn in Greensboro using denim from Greensboro, available for sale, as well as a variety of other new items, and hand-picked Wrangler vintage items for sale from a "Found Collection."  The store will be open in downtown Greensboro from November 30 to January 31.  This may be the first and only time that Cone denim jeans will be produced by Wrangler in Greensboro, so for those Wrangler afficionados this may be a good opportunity to come and visit the denim capital of the world before Cone is no longer producing here.  


Thought I would throw this out there, but also equally important to mention the store will have complementary Union Special chainstitch hemming (using a Wrangler USMC 63900)  for denim pants purchased in-store, and will also offer this service throughout the store's regular hours of operation.  

If you're interested in learning more about Wrangler premium selvage, check out their website here, and if you'd like to ascertain about securing a pair, PM me.

Sincerely,
Evan

Wrangler Japan are made by Edwin besides those made by Real McCoy's.  There is a Wrangler Archives line same as Lee.
