I really don't think that it was necessary for lehman's to declare bankruptcy but feel that after the US government bailing out others they should have also considered helping Lehmans. I think that they have created an even bigger problem, and think of the lost money by shareholders. The government has created another down draft that will not be felt for a few months but think about it...the shareholders themselves maybe middle upper class citizens are now out every dollar invested in that bank and are now sitting with nothing as the SEC pushed Lehmans into the Pinksheets today Sept 18 2008. Many of those people have lost much of their life savings. What about the employees that were given stock options and thought of their shares in Lehmans as retirement. It just does not cut the cake...I think that this all moved way to fast and I truly think that the US government should have jumped and given some sort of a lifeline to Lehmans. I think there is bigger trouble coming yet.

Rogers Brothers is a silverware company that actually began in the 1820's but apparently used the actual Rogers Bros. name for the first time in 1847. Also, it seems that 1847 Rogers Bros silver plate or at least the trademark is still being manufactured or used today by the International Silver Company. In the late 1800's, Rogers Bros merged with or was purchased by the International Silver Company.
Possibly 3,000 or so Henrys were actually purchased by the US Government for the US Army during the war; but usually it was wealthy Regimental Colonels that purchased Henrys for their men. And of course many officers purchased Henrys for their own use. This also applied to the Spencer repeating rifles which fed metallic cartridges thru the butt end of the stock. Those Civil War Henrys and the Henry company of the 1860s SHOULD NOT be confused with the Henrys of today. The Henry of today was founded by an Italian immigrant who purchased the old American gun company of Iver Johnson and simply used the Henry name (patent expired) when he started the company up in 1992.
Walmart stock first came on the market in 1970. If a person had purchased 100 shares of Walmart's stock in 1970, they would be worth around 35 million dollars today.
I understand that MCO was taken over in 1988 by United Meridian Corp and shares were purchased at $0.40 per share.
If in 1976 you could buy 5000 shares of what is now Microsoft stock, it would be worth the same as 5000 shares of Microsoft that was purchased today - no matter when you bought it, it would be 5000 x today's stock price of Microsoft (you would probably pay more today). You probably want to know how rich you would be today if you had purchased 5000 shares of Microsoft stock in 1976. That would take some research because the shares of Microsoft stock available in 1976 are probably not the same as what is available today (because of splits and other events that could have occurred).
the equivalent of 144 aviva shares today
Lehman Engel was born on September 14, 1910 and died on August 29, 1982. Lehman Engel would have been 71 years old at the time of death or 104 years old today.

I have 2 shares purchased in 1976. I called the company today and the customer service rep was very enthusiastic that it would be worth my time to visit one of the companies locations with my paperwork. Though by company policy they couldn't give me the exact amount on the phone the rep was very positive.
In today's market, apple shares are actually almost $500 a share. Theoretically speaking, if shares were purchased in 1989 before apple truly became a house hold name, then you would have gotten your investment back with a profit.
The shares would be worth $2,800.00 today giving you a profit before tax of $2,200.00.
