Recycled Transit Token Cuff Links

These transit tokens from New York were discontinued in 1980 and have now been recycled into cuff links, courtesy of their designer Ward Wallau. He spent 11 years petitioning the NY Transit Authority before they finally gave him permission to use them in his jewelry, making them truly special. These unique cuff links are also available with recycled transit tokens from Boston, D.C., San Francisco and Chicago. We mentioned these briefly on a previous cuff link post not too long ago, but with the holidays coming we thought it'd be a great stocking stuffer for him. Available at ::Eco-Artware
