Welcome
&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
An ornate original 1923 Prohibition Prescription for Sherry Wine...Oii (quart)...Sig. Zi after meals! This prescription was used for a short period of time during the Prohibition, between late 1923 and 1925. Also, wine was rarely prescribed. Please see photos!
From the days of Al Capone, speakeasies and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!
The win
e
was prescribed for Jervis Guy, by Dr. James Freusborg on December 30, 1923, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Walter A. Gordon, of Gordon's Drug Store in Rochester, 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!
This prescription measures 6 1/2" x 4 3/8", has two folds, otherwise, condition is excellent, a beautiful wine prescription!
This is a FANTASTIC piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, doctor's office, museum, bar or office! Also a great gift or an addition to a collection of pharmacy, US Currency, medicine, Capone, bar, Americana, stamps and DEA items!
I am happy to answer any questions, please feel free to email and thank you for your interest!
