- Description
- Public transit began in Los Angeles in 1874 in the form of a horse car system that ran on tracks in downtown Los Angeles for 10 cents a ride. In 1960, the Los Angeles MTA introduced an art deco, dime-sized token that was further enhanced by two symmetrical cuts. This token was an excellent example of the industrial design of that period, showing how a common object could be both functional and aesthetically pleasing. Makes a great gift to all those that love this great city, and comes packaged in a specially designed, map-covered cufflink box with authenticity card. Prestigiously set in sterling silver.

New York Subway Token Cufflinks $195.00 These authentic New York City dime-sized transit tokens were first implemented in 1953 when a fare rise to 15 cents, forced engineers who were not able to design a turnstile that could accept two different coins, to use tokens instead. More recently, the tokens themselves have been replaced by the MetroCard, but have endured as a symbol of old New York. Makes a great gift to all those that love this wonderful city, and comes packaged in a specially designed, map-covered cufflink box with authenticity card. Prestigiously set in sterling silver and hallmarked "NYCT".
Officially licensed by the MTA.
