About Us

Tokens & Icons has been turning authentic, nostalgic artifacts into functional gifts for more than 25 years. The company was founded upon becoming one of the first licensees of the New York City MTA with whom we continue to create cuff links that feature the iconic retired NY Subway tokens. From authentic vintage typewriter keys to a Pan Am fuselage to a variety of Game Used sports materials, Tokens & Icons aims to bring a new life and purpose to the memorable everyday objects of our past.

Tokens & Icons is located in Berkeley, California and all items ship from Berkeley.

All of our bottle openers, flights & friendship bracelets are handcrafted locally.  For jewelry, our sterling cuff link swivel clasp is from Providence, RI and are combined with artifacts and bezel 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 two blocks 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.
