Welcome&Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
A beautiful original 1926 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...Oi (pint)! There is also something written on the back. Please see photos!
From the days of Al Capone, flappers 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 Mrs.... H. D. White, by Dr. E. W. Evans, on May 29, 1926, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Ralph Rapp, of Rapp's Drug Store, in Easton, 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 5 3/4", has two light folds, a piece off the left, bottom corner, otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful prescription!
This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, museum, wine cellar, bar or office! I am happy to answer any questions you may have, please feel free to email and thank you for your interest!
