&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
A beautiful original 1927 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...Zxvi (pint)....Sg Zss Bid (2 ounces 2 times daily)! 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 Walter Scheip, by Dr. Theo. C. Fegley, on October 20, 1927, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Christian Stutzman, in Tremont, PA.
It was issued by the Treasury Department and is printed on fancy, beautiful paper, that was also used for U.S. 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 light folds and light corner wear, otherwise, condition is excellent....a beautiful prescription!
This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, doctor's office, museum, bar or office! Also a great gift or an addition to a collection of pharmacy, US Currency, medicine, Capone, bar, Americana, stamps and DEA items!
