Blue border and underprint, Classical bust of man on top, No coupons, Specimen overprint, POC's, XF condition. In 1910, With $5,000 in savings and a small family loan, Arthur, Herbert and Percy Salomon left their father's firm and started their own business, Salomon Brothers, at 80 Broadway in New York City. Salomon joined forces with Morton Hutzler, an established firm with a seat on the New York Stock Exchange and Salomon Brothers & Hutzler was then formed. They registered with the Treasury Department in 1917-1918 seeing the opportunity that The Liberty Loan Act of 1917 offered and became one of the first primary dealers in U.S. government securities in the U.S. A scandal in 1991 involving a Salomon trader Paul Mozer, who had been submitting false bids in an attempt to purchase more Treasury bonds than permitted by one buyer during the period between December 1990 and May 1991 led to Salomon being fined $290 million for this infraction, the largest fine ever levied on an investment bank at the time. One of 3 Salomon Specimen Bonds found, all unique denominations and colors. ABNC. Historic Wall Street Firm.
