Ok, here is what I am needing. I need the average interest rates on Certificate of Deposits with 1-year maturities that were issued between 1984 and 1989. I know some of you are pretty handy with the charts so I thought I would ask.
I have found similar data for 6-month maturities on the Federal Reserve website, but I really need the 1-year data. Also, FRED told me they don't track that far back. Any help would be appreciated.
Banking is like sex for men. One loses interest at the moment of withdrawal.
If the WSJ published a rate for that, ProQuest has back issues to 1984. It's accessible through many library websites if you have a library card.

Don't compare them to current rates, lest you may need therapy.
I don't remember the exact years, but I had two small CD's for a while. One paid 7% and the other 9% - they were purchased about 6 months or so apart. It was sometime in the early 80's I think....possibly before '84, though.
Wouldn't even mess with one today. Just put the money in a mattress and will end up ahead of the game....
Just curious... special project??
