A fantastic original 1922 U.S. Government issued Prohibition Prescription for Medicinal Liquor! This prescription rarely seen unused was used for a short period of time during the Prohibition, from 1922 until 1923. Please see photos!
From the days of Al Capone, speakeasies and moonshine, this was the only legal way to to drink liquor in the US!
The physician typically wrote this prescription for Whiskey or Spirits Frumenti, occasionally for wine or brandy!
The prescription was issued by the U.S. Treasury Department and is printed on 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 the 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 10" x 4.5", has a different serial number, otherwise, condition is excellent...great in person!
This is a fantastic piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, wine cellar, distillery, museum, bar or office!
