L.F. Rothschild, Unterberg, Towbin Tough Phone Case
Product Details & Size Guide
Keep a piece of New York securities history close at hand with this L.F. Rothschild, Unterberg, Towbin phone case. Founded in 1899, the firm grew from its offices at 32 Broadway into a prominent investment bank, later underwriting early-1980s offerings for companies such as Intel, Cray Research, and Cetus Corporation. Its rise and collapse around the 1987 market crash make a compelling chapter for finance and corporate-history collectors. A distinctive everyday choice for people drawn to the people and turning points behind Wall Street.
Founded in 1899 in New York City by Louis F. Rothschild and partner Leonard Hockstader, L.F. Rothschild & Co. took over the offices and business of Albert Loeb & Co. at 32 Broadway. Louis F. Rothschild was not related to the Rothschild family. The firm focused on fixed-income securities sales and trading and also operated in arbitrage, retail brokerage, and wealth management. After merging with C.E. Unterberg, Towbin in 1977, it became L.F. Rothschild, Unterberg, Towbin, led primarily by Thomas I. Unterberg and A. Robert Towbin. That year it moved to 55 Water Street, leasing the 45th and 46th floors. Its merchant banking investments included high-technology companies, and in the early 1980s it became a leading underwriter of initial public offerings, taking companies including Intel, Cray Research, and Cetus Corporation public. Unterberg and Towbin left in 1986 to join Shearson Lehman. The firm's stock trading exposure contributed to its collapse after the 1987 market crash. Franklin Savings Association acquired it in February 1988, but its holding company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection in July 1989. By the end of that year, staffing had fallen from a peak of 2,200 to 45.
