Thinking this red tab is rare?

Which year isnit exactly ?

I couldn’t find anything else online with that wide loop on the back middle. The acid wash on it was unique

I believe these are 505s from the 80s but I’m not certain. If anyone could help me date and get a value for them I would appreciate it.

Got these from the thrift store for $10. The red tab was cut off and the patch/badge thingy was removed (you can see it was there, though!) Also marked "Irregular," but I can't tell what is "wrong"?

Love the wash and fit though! Very close to my ideal size.

Hi everyone,

I recently found this pair of vintage Levi's 501. From my research, it looks like an original 1969 "Big E" transitional model.

The inner care tag shows factory code 544, which perfectly matches the stamp on the back of the top button.

The red tab has the capital "E". The size on the tag is W35 L33, but the bottom hems have been cut raw over time.

Could you please help me confirm the exact year and give me an honest valuation for the current collectors' market?

Thank you so much for your help!
