Antique 1928 Prohibition Whisky Prescription Pharmacy Doctor Bar Dedham MA Cole
Item History & Price
Reference Number: Avaluer:43633733 |
A beautiful original 1928 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...Oi (Pint)...Sig: As Directed! 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! It was prescribed for Joseph Newhall, by Dr. Logan Francis Log? of Re...adville, MA, on April 28, 1928, and was filled the same day, by Pharmacist, Guy W. Cole, in Dedham, MA.
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!
This prescription measures 6 1/2" x 4 3/8", has wallet folds and some discoloration, otherwise, condition is very good...a great script!
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!
