Tokens & Icons invents new uses for subway tokens, baseball seating, typewriter keys and even cracked game used bats. Ward Wallau, founder of Tokens & Icons and a self proclaimed “authenticity hound,” gathered his crew of artisans to transform barn wood from a 1927 Idaho granary into two large sliding doors. Galvanized metal mailboxes—some still containing original documents from the early 1900s—are now receptacles for the company’s jewelry and gifts. And wood pallets and corrugated roofing have been fashioned into pony walls. Even a discarded dog kennel turned out to be the perfect size for storing the baseball seats used to create stadium-related merchandise. Tokens & Icons’ quarters are a place where purpose finds new meaning and nostalgia is right at home.
