Welcome
&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
A
beautiful original 1928 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...Zxvi (1 pint)...Zii TID! Please see photos!
From the days of Al Capone, speakeasies and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!
This prescription has poppies on the top corners, fleur-de-lys on the bottom, and spider-webbed borders!
The whiskey was prescribed for Thomas Scott, by Dr. S. Gelblatt on January 16, 1928, by Pharmacist, Theodore Campbell, of Campbell's Drug Store, in Philadelphia, PA.
It was printed by the US Treasury Department on beautiful paper, that was also used for US currency. In the center is the old Treasury Seal with the Latin inscription, "Thesaur. Amer. Septent. Sigil.". When you hold this prescription up to the light, PROHIBITION is watermarked, as with the metal strips that are used in U.S. bills today, the graphics are GREAT!
The prescription measures 6 1/2" x 5 3/4", has two folds and light bends, otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful document, a personal favorite!
This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, museum, bar or office! I am happy to answer any questions, please feel free to email and thank you for your interest!
