Welcome
&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
A great original Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey ~ Oi (1 pint)...Zfi Tid!  Please see photo!
From the days of Al Capone, flappers and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!
The whiskey was prescribed for T. J. Hooks, by Dr. S. C. Davis, on December 21, 1928, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Jules E. Brenner, of Brenner Brother's Pharmacy in San Francisco, CA.
It was issued by the Treasury Department and is printed on fancy, beautiful pink paper. 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!
This was the pharmacist's duplicate copy, printed on the back are the "Instructions", one of which is: "This duplicate prescription must be retained by the druggist as permanent record, open to inspection by Federal Officers", the top copy was sent to the government.
The prescription measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/2", has a light fold, otherwise, condition is excellent...a terrific Rx!
This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a hotel, pharmacy, museum, bar or office! I am happy to answer any questions, please feel free to email and thank you for your interest!
