1927 Prohibition Whiskey Pint Bottle Prescription Doctor Bar Philadelphia PA
Welcome
&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
A beautiful original 1927 Prohibition Prescription for Whiskey...Oi (1 pint bottle)...Zss as dir (2 ounces as directed)! Frumenti was prescribed more often during the Prohibition, so Whiskey prescriptions are not as prevalent! 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 Thos. Baird, by Dr. F. A. McMullin, on November
14, 1927, by Pharmacist, John Smart, of Smart'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" x 5", has one fold, light spots on the right side and cutdown borders, otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful document, a personal favorite!
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!
Pleased to combine shipping with other Prohibition Prescriptions, Liquor Licenses, Opium Forms & Pharmacy Labels. As always, many thanks to my regular customers for your continued patronage! :)
