A Walk Down Memory Lane<\/span><\/h1>\n

Tokens & Icons was founded more than twenty years ago when they were licensed by the New York City Metro Transit Authority to create cufflinks featuring the iconic retired NY Subway tokens. \u00a0Before long other transit authorities, including those in Boston, Chicago, and San Francisco also approached them and asked them to create officially-licensed items with their retired tokens.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

\nWith that simple start, Tokens & Icons began its journey of acquiring authentic artifacts and featuring them in classic designs of functional gifts. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cFrom authentic vintage typewriter keys to a Pan Am fuselage to Buffalo Nickels to watch movements from the early 20th century, Tokens & Icons aims to bring a new life and purpose to the memorable everyday objects of our past.\u201d<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take Me Out to the Ball Game<\/span><\/h1>\n

In 2006, Tokens & Icons was acquired by BallPark Pens and entered the world of creating authentic sports artifacts. \u00a0A few years later, the design house was licensed by the MLB to become a producer of gifts made from Authenticated Game Used baseballs, uniforms, and broken bats. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Since then they have become licensed by the National Hockey League, the PGA TOUR, and a growing list of top-ranked collegiate football and basketball programs. Because authenticity is so important, they work directly with licensors to obtain and document the chain of custody of each jersey, ball and helmet, thus ensuring that each fan\u2019s purchase is 100% authentic.<\/span><\/p>\n

A Bright Future<\/span><\/h1>\n

Tokens & Icons has continued to forge new relationships and acquire more artifacts. They have branched out in their acquisitions to celebrate a greater diversity of icons: from planes, trains and automobiles; to the sports you love to play and watch; to the tokens and coins that once circulated through millions of hands.<\/span><\/p>\n
