Welcome

Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
An ornate original 1925 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...1 Pt (pint)! This prescription was used for a short period of time during the Prohibition, from late 1924 to 1925. Please see photos!
From the days of Al Capone, flappers and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!

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 4 3/8", has light bends and a corner bend, otherwise, condition is
