Add a compact reminder of Wall Street's changing corporate landscape with this Shearson Lehman/American Express square porcelain fridge magnet. The Shearson name began in 1902 and traveled through a succession of mergers, becoming associated with American Express in 1981 and Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb in 1984. Its history offers a memorable snapshot of brokerage and investment banking through decades of change. A distinctive keepsake for collectors, finance fans, and anyone who enjoys notable company stories.
The Shearson name began with Shearson, Hammill & Co., founded in 1902 by Edward Shearson and Caleb Wild Hammill. The brokerage and investment banking firm was headquartered at 71 Broadway in New York City and maintained a main office in Chicago. After financial difficulties during the 1973–1974 market crash, it merged with Hayden Stone in 1974, becoming Shearson Hayden Stone. A 1979 merger with Loeb, Rhoades, Hornblower & Co. created Shearson Loeb Rhoades. American Express acquired the firm in 1981, forming Shearson/American Express. In 1984, American Express combined it with Lehman Brothers Kuhn Loeb as Shearson Lehman/American Express. The 1988 acquisition of E.F. Hutton & Co. brought the name Shearson Lehman Hutton; in 1990, the business became Shearson Lehman Brothers. In 1993, American Express sold Shearson’s retail brokerage and asset management business to Primerica, where it joined Smith Barney as Smith Barney Shearson. The Shearson name was discontinued in 1994. That year, American Express spun off its remaining investment banking and institutional businesses as Lehman Brothers.
