In 2021, the Dow Jones Industrial Average hit 33,000. But on September 3, 1929, what was the value of the Dow, its peak before crashing in October of the same year?

The DJIA was at 381 - about one percent its value in 2021 - less than two months before its crash in October, 1929. On October 29 of that year, the Dow closed at just 230.07, falling 40% from its high. What followed was many years of economic turmoil in the U.S. and beyond.
