{"product_id":"washington-mutual-ceramic-ornament","title":"Washington Mutual Ceramic Ornament","description":"GhostCorp Apparel - resurrecting iconic corporate ghosts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMark a memorable chapter of Seattle and American banking history with this Washington Mutual ceramic ornament. Founded in 1889, the institution grew from local roots into a national savings bank whose WaMu name became familiar to customers across the country. The events of 2008 brought a sudden end to its banking operations, and its branches were later rebranded as Chase. A distinctive keepsake for former customers, Seattle history enthusiasts, or collectors documenting corporate change.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWashington Mutual began in Seattle in 1889 as the Washington National Building Loan and Investment Association, formed after the Great Seattle Fire. It made its first West Coast home mortgage loan in 1890, adopted the Washington Savings and Loan Association name in 1908, and operated as Washington Mutual Savings Bank from 1917. The institution demutualized in 1983 and became a public company; in 1994 it reorganized as Washington Mutual, Inc., a holding company. A long acquisition period expanded its reach across the United States and into mortgage lending and credit cards. Major purchases included Great Western Financial in 1997, Home Savings in 1998, Bank United in 2001, and Providian in 2005. WaMu moved its headquarters to WaMu Center in downtown Seattle in 2006. After heavy deposit withdrawals in September 2008, federal regulators seized its banking operations and placed them in FDIC receivership on September 25. The FDIC sold the banking subsidiaries to JPMorgan Chase for $1.9 billion. WaMu branches were rebranded as Chase branches by the end of 2009. The holding company filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in Delaware on September 26, 2008.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eHeart\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"1\" style=\"padding: 10px; font-size: 15px; font-weight: 500;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(0, 0, 0);\"\u003eRound\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003eDiameter, in\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e3.21\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd data-row=\"2\" style=\"word-break: break-word; border-top: 1px solid rgb(237, 237, 237); font-size: 15px; padding: 10px;\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(82, 82, 82);\"\u003e2.80\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eProduct features\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- 100% white ceramic construction — strong and durable\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Double-sided print with matte finish option\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Golden hanging string included\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- UV-decorated for lasting color\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Available in white or gold gift packaging (single ornament per pack)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCare instructions\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e- Use a microfiber cloth to gently remove any dust or dirt build-up.
