This search is made difficult by the fact that American Home Products
purchased Wyeth Laboratories before March 27, 1984 - - so there are no
stock quotes for Wyeth.  After I checked all of the exchanges, I found
an advertisement for Wyeth which mentions that they are a division of
American Home.

Since then the company has changed its name to Wyeth Pharmaceutical,
as our good friends at Hoover’s Online note:
Hoover’s
“Wyeth”
http://www.hoovers.com/co/capsule/3/0,2163,10093,00.html


The March 28, 1984 New York Times shows the following information for
American Home trades on March 27:
High: 52 5/8
Low: 52 ½
Close: 52 ½
Change: + 1/8

The DJIA was 1,154.31 at the close on March 27, 1984.

The 52-week trading range for American Home on that date was 42 7/8 -
- 54 3/8.

Google search strategy:
“American Home” + Wyeth + acquisition

I am very grateful for the especially prompt response to my query
about stock prices because I needed it for tax purposes, and the
information was available on none of the Web stock-market resources. 
Many thanks, Omnivorous-ga!
