Antique 1925 Prohibition Brandy Wine Prescription Doctor Pharmacy Bar History Philadelphia PA

Welcome

&

Thank You for Shopping In the USA

An ornate original government issued 1925 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Vini Gallici, also referred to as French Brandy or Wine, as it is distilled from French Wine...Oi (pint)...Zss BD! 

During the Prohibition the majority of prescriptions were for Spirits Frumenti. Also, the prescription was used for a very short period of time during the Prohibition, from 1924 to 1925. Please see photo!

From the days of Al Capone, speakeasies and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink wine in the US!

The Vini Gallici was prescribed for Mr. M. Kotzman, by Dr. Leslie F. Mulford on April 14, 1925 and was filled by Pharmacist, Theodore Campbell, of Campbell's Drug Store in Philadelphia, 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 4 3/8", has a light fold and light bends, otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful 1925 whiskey prescription! 

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!
