Antique 1927 Prohibition Prescription Whisky Pharmacy Bar Doctor Philadelphia PA
Welcome
&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
A beautiful original 1927 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...Zxvi (pint)...Take 1 tablespoon 3 times a day! This particular script is a favorite in that the doc had wonderful penmanship! Please see photo!
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 Moses Patterson, by Dr. Thomas J. Fleming, on April 23, 1927, and was filled the same day 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 1/2" x 5 3/4", has two light folds, light bends, otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful script!
This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, museum, bar or office! I am happy to answer any questions and thank you for your interest! :)
