Vintage 1929 Prohibition Whiskey Prescription Doctor Pharmacy Bar Schenectady NY
Welcome
&
Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
A great original government issued Prohibition Prescription for Whiskey...Pt I (pint)...As dir
ect
ed
! More often during the Prohibition, Spirits Frumenti was prescribed, so the Whiskey prescriptions are not as prevalent. Please see photo!
From the days of Al Capone, speakeasies and moonshine this prescription was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!
The whiskey was prescribed for H
enry Hamilton
, by Dr. Warr
en B. Ston
e
, on March 2, 1929, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Harry A. Dodge, of Henry Kreste's Drug Store, in Schenectady, NY.
It was issued by the Treasury Department and is printed on, beautiful pink paper. 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 was the pharmacist's duplicate copy, printed on the back are the "Instructions", one of which is: "This duplicate prescription must be retained by the druggist as permanent record, open to inspection by Federal Officers", the top copy was sent to the government.
This prescription measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/2", has a light b
ends
and a liquid mark on th
e top corn
er
, otherwise, condition is excellent...a great NY Whiskey 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, please feel free to email and thank you for your interest! :)
