It occurs to me that while I've added noise to this thread, I've added very little in the way of signal. So here goes...
This isn't mine, so I can only give you a link to it, and there are no actual "iconic artifacts" being passed along, but it's one of my favorite "passing of the torch" stories.

The story is called Bye Bye My Crisis, the author is Andy Skuse, and you get only 1 guess as to the universe it's set in (I bet it turns out to not be the specific one you're thinking of right now).
