Houston Transit Token Cufflinks
These distinctive cufflinks are crafted from authentic vintage Houston Electric Company transportation transit tokens, repurposed into a striking and historically evocative accessory. Each cufflink features a genuine brass token bearing the bold central “H” and the surrounding inscription “Houston Transit Co.” The tokens once circulated as fare for Houston’s public transportation system, giving these cufflinks a direct connection to the city’s urban and industrial history.
The original tokens have been carefully mounted as cufflink faces and fitted with sturdy swivel backs, allowing for secure and comfortable wear. The warm patina of the aged metal preserves the character of the original tokens, while their circular form and crisp lettering create a clean, graphic design well suited to formal or everyday attire. Ideal for transportation enthusiasts, collectors of Houston memorabilia, or anyone with ties to the city, this pair transforms a small piece of local history into a wearable conversation piece.
Presented in a Great Republic cufflink gift box.
