"Did he ever return,
No he never returned
And his fate is still unlearn'd
He may ride forever
'neath the streets of Boston
He's the man who never returned."
--"Charlie on the MTA," Jacqueline Steiner and Bess Lomax Hawes
Lovely, old-school Boston subway tokens adorn these funky cufflinks. MTA, not MBTA, which puts these tokens at pre-1964. (The more recently discontinued MBTA tokens feature the large "T" on one side. Of course, it's all Charlie Cards now.)
I must admit, the Boston subway holds a special place in my heart, and I think these tokens are might snazzy. Don't you?
