Celebrate a landmark name in American finance with this Salomon Brothers ceramic ornament. Founded in New York in 1910, the firm became a powerful presence in bonds, trading, and the financial-markets world that shaped the 1980s and 1990s. Its journey through Salomon Inc. and Salomon Smith Barney makes it especially resonant for corporate-history collectors. Hang it as a distinctive seasonal keepsake or display it year-round in an office, study, or finance-themed collection.
Salomon Brothers, Inc. was an American multinational investment bank headquartered in New York City. Arthur, Herbert, and Percy Salomon founded the firm in 1910 with clerk Ben Levy, and it remained a partnership until the early 1980s. William Salomon became managing partner and head of the company in 1963; John Gutfreund succeeded him as head in 1978. Recognized as a bulge bracket firm in 1975, Salomon Brothers helped organize syndicates for a $1 billion Municipal Action Committee bond sale during New York City's fiscal crisis. In 1981, commodity trading firm Phibro Corporation acquired the business in a reverse merger that formed Salomon Inc. and took it public. The firm became known for fixed-income trading, corporate-bond underwriting, futures, options, securitization, and mortgage-backed securities. Travelers Group acquired Salomon in 1997 for $9 billion, then merged with Citicorp in 1998. Its combined investment banking operations became Salomon Smith Barney before being renamed Citigroup Global Markets Inc. in 2003.
