Antique 8/20 1927 Prohibition Whiskey Medical Prescription Doctor Bar Erie PA
Welcome
&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
A beautiful original 1927 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...Oi (pint)...Sig Zi (1 ounce) in H2O - 4 hrs! 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 Andrew Gorn
ey or Gom
ey
, by Dr. L. W. Dolan, on August 20, 1927, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Isadore Maserek, of Maserek's Drug Store in Erie, 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 light bends and folds, otherwise, condition is excellent....a great script...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!
