Authentic Stadium Seat Cufflinks

I noticed a few notes that say the seats were made of plastic like the ones from Shea stadium. Since you make them from wood - where does the wood come from for these cufflinks - specifically the ones from Shea Stadium. Thanks!

The cufflinks made from stadium seats with the note plastic next to them are actually plastic as opposed to wood.

Are the back of the cufflinks stamped with the team name and Sterling Silver?

Verified reply from Michael T

The back of the cuff links are sterling silver, but not stamped with the team name.

Is there some authenticity certificate enclosed with these cufflinks. How do we know for sure or are guaranteed they are from the stadium seats as stated.

Verified reply from Martin

The cufflinks are officially licensed by Major League Baseball and come with a certificate of authenticity.

Is it possible to know whether the Yankee stadium seats were from before 1973? Because, to my knowledge Yankee stadium was built in 1923 then rebuilt around 1973 then rebuilt in 2008.

Thank you for your question! The Yankee Stadium seats are from the rebuilt 1973 stadium which was demolished in 2008 after the new stadium was built.

I am really considering buying these cufflinks for my boyfriend, however the warning note is scaring me. I was wondering what materials are used in making these cufflinks that may cause cancer? Is it something that has to do with the old seats or the way the cufflinks are put together?

Thanks for reaching out, Emily! We didn't mean for the warning to scare you, and we're sorry it gave you the wrong impression. Here at UncommonGoods we work hard to make sure all of our products are safe, nontoxic, and cadmium and lead-free. Of course, the biggest reason we do this is to make sure our customers and the environment are safe! Every now-and-then we come across a truly uncommon product, like these Authentic Stadium Seat Cufflinks, that is made out of reclaimed vintage material. Since the seats are very old, they contain elements that aren't commonly used today and might have traces of materials that could be harmful if ingested or if someone was exposed to them in large quantities over long periods of time. (For example, traces of lead in the paint.) According to California law, any product or building that contains materials that could potentially cause cancer, birth defects, or other reproductive harm must be labeled accordingly. (You can learn more about this law here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/California_Proposition_65_(1986))Since we sell these cufflinks to folks in California, we include the warning on our website. We do believe the cufflinks are generally safe, or we wouldn't sell them. But, just to be safe, we'd advise against eating them.

regarding the Wrigley field cufflinks: what year? how did they get the material for the seats? why are the cufflinks made in the usa AND mexico?

Excellent questions, and we apologize that it took us so long to get you the answers. Information may want to be free, but it's not always in the mood to be speedy! Wrigley Field has transitioned completely to plastic, and our Stadium Seat jewelry and accessories are made from discarded wooden seats which could be from any year between 1914 and 1988. They are licensed by MLB. Some prep work is done on the seats in the U.S., and the sterling silver clasps on the back of the cufflinks are made here, but the bulk of the work is done in Mexico.

Are the Cuff Links from Tiger Stadium, The Detroit Tigers??? I am interested in buying these for a huge Michigan fan but have been unable to find the name of their stadium.

Yes, the cufflinks are from the Detroit Tigers' stadium. They would make a great gift for a Michigan fan!

This might be a stupid question, but are they sold individually? As in, do i need to buy a quantity of 2 in order to get a pair? Or does a quantity of 1 mean I'll get a set of 2?

Verified reply from Cassie, Community Moderator

No worries, that's a great question! Some of our cufflinks are sold individually (so you can mix and match), but the Authentic Stadium Seat Cufflinks are sold as a set. The price is for two cufflinks. When a cufflink is sold individually, we will make a note in the product story.
