About Us

 

Tokens & Icons has been turning authentic, nostalgic artifacts into functional gifts for more than 34 years. The company was founded upon becoming one of the first licensees of the New York City MTA for whom we created cuff links that feature the iconic retired NY Subway tokens. Tokens & Icons has a passion to bring new life and purpose to the memorable everyday objects of our past.

 

Update 

On January 1, 2024 Tokens began a transition to custom projects rather than shelf inventory. Our MLB & NHL licenses came to a close December 31, 2024. We are grateful to MLB and NHL for entrusting us with their game used equipment to craft functional gifts for everyday use for the last 19 and 15 years respectively. 

Game used NFL items are still within in a sell-down period.

 

Sports Items

Boston Garden Floor, Lambeau Field, Candlestick Park, Vintage Golf & Tennis items will continue to be produced for the foreseeable future until our source material is depleted.

Non-Sports Items 

Popular styles like the Buffalo Nickel, Pan Am, Watch Movements, Frank Lloyd Wright will continue to be available even as we pursue our custom model. Learn More about Custom Projects. 

PGA Tour & Collegiate styles are no longer available for sale. The authentication info for these items will remain available via our website's authentication page.

Production

All of our bottle openers, flights & friendship bracelets are handcrafted locally. For jewelry, our sterling cuff link swivel clasp is from Providence, RI which are combined with artifacts and set in Taxco, Mexico, the silver capital of the world. Our leather wallets are individually stitched in Mumbai, India. Pre-production on watches and pens is done in Berkeley, final production in China. 

Our artisans, whether they are across the street or a video chat away, are in constant collaboration and as a team we work together to bring authenticity, craftsmanship and functionality to the gifting experience.
