Welcome
&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
An ornate original government issued 1927 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the U.S. pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...Zxvi (Pint)...Sig Zi c Zi of Glycerine PRN! Please see photos!
From the days of Al Capone, speakeasies and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!
This prescription has poppies on the top corners, fleur-de-lys on the bottom, and spider-webbed borders!
The whiskey was prescribed for Hunter Moffett, of Merion PA, by Dr. Carl W. White, of Narberth, PA, on November 19, 1927 and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Theodore Campbell, of Campbell's Drug Store, in Philadelphia, PA.
It was printed by the US Treasury Department on beautiful paper, that was also used for US 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 5 3/4", has a light fold and light bends, otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful prescription!
This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, doctor's office, museum, wine cellar, bar or office! I am happy to answer any questions, please feel free to email and thank you for your interest!
