New in Box' Description melzl67320 Store MERRILL LYNCH GOLD COLORED ~BULL~ CUFF LINKS     The  Bull logo has been synonymous with Merrill Lynch in all advertising and merchandising since 1974  when Merrill Lynch ran the first ad stating Merrill Lynch is bullish on America using the Bull to symbolize their icon, and the fact that they were bullish..  It used to be that all Merrill ads featured the Bull. ..Well that is all about to change, Merrill Lynch as you may or may not know was recently acquired by Bank America.Now the marriage was hastily arranged in the wake of Lehman Brothers failure Ken Lewis and John Thain got together and arranged the marriage of Merrill and Bank of America.Thinking that business will ever be the same is terribly naive, Bank America is a bankMerrill was an investment bank / brokerage house they are not the same. However                                     the merger will be voted on November 21st 2008                                   if accepted by shareholders look for very big changes at Merrill                                   ..starting with the fact that the logo ( if they keep the iconic bull )will now say                                                        Merrill Lynch a Bank America company Perhaps Bank America will leave the logo bull alone, however if they do it will be the first time in history. Not to long ago they bought Countrywide mortgage, that logo is disappearing and that                        was much less of an icon !These are part of the famous BULL Merrill Lynch history that will never be the same no matter what happens. The proud history of Merrill Lynch is over and so is the iconic bull logo !!These are brand new and I have a few sets when they are gone I don't know if I can get more or for how long.Whats for sale: One set Merrill Lynch GOLD BULL color cuff links.* I am a broker not a metallurgist and am not commenting on their base metal just the color.     Enjoy Bidding on this piece of history.  Grab this and put it away. you will be happy you did ..    Thanks for bidding ..  Check out my other Merrill items and check my feedback & bid with confidence Place a Bid!
