A great original doctor's Prohibition Liquor Prescription stub for Spirits Frumenti aka Whiskey...Zxxxvii (Quart)...Zss qid 16 d (days). This stub was open to inspection by federal officers! 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 Geo. L. Wilson of Pasadena, CA, by Dr. R. H. Stanton, of Los Angeles, CA, on July 14, 1933.
It was issued by the Treasury Department, when held to the light, INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL is partially watermarked. Printed in red ink is: "This stub must be clearly and legibly written, and must not be detached from the book".
The prescription stub measures 4 1/2" by 3" and is in excellent condition...a great ditty from the Prohibition!
This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, wine cellar, distillery, museum, bar or office! Also a great gift or an addition to a collection of pharmacy, medicine, US currency, Alcoholics Anonymous, Capone, 1920s, bar, Americana, stamps and DEA items!
Pleased to combine shipping with other Prohibition Prescriptions, Liquor Licenses, Opium Forms & Pharmacy Labels. As always, many thanks to my regular customers for your continued patronage! :)
