Cuff Links New York Transit Token Collector's Set
- An off-the-rails gift for the consummate New Yorker who has memories of each of these.
- These cuff links are crafted from five authentic New York transit tokens circulated from 1953-79 and 1986-2003.
- Includes the first 50's era dime-sized Y cut token, the familiar 70's Y cut, the 1979 "Diamond Jubilee" the bimetal "Bullet" and the "5 Borough" pentagon token, the last token to circulate before the Metrocard. Fun fact: the unloved 5 Borough was alloyed with a metal that made it indistinguishable from nickels, dimes & quarters and thus made it hard to find in a pocketful of change.
- Dime-sized Y-cut token cuff links set in silver-plated brass with swivel findings. All other tokens are antiqued & soldered to sterling silver swivel findings. Size varies from 5/8" to 7/8" diameter.
- Each set comes in a leather 5 Pair Case with a Certificate of Authenticity.
- Officially licensed by New York MTA.
