I would like to help you, but I'm adhering to the "Don't ask, don't tell" policy. 
Edit: Hmm, rec7's ninja edit now makes it look like I modified his quote just to make a dumb joke. Which I didn't (the modifying the quote part, I mean). Guilty as charged on the dumb joke part.

Hmmm, because it merged with KMart and became SHLD on the Nasdaq, they gave the original symbol of S away to Sprint. Bigcharts is where I usually go for this kind of info, but no luck.
You might try investor relations at Sears, but if their customer service is anything like at the stores, it will not be worth the hold time.

may help you with this.

Where are the shares held at? When I worked at a regional brokerage firm, they had these big books in the reorganization area that had yearly stock prices going back to the 1920's.........I suppose its on the Internet with those firms now.
