Thank You for Shopping In the USA!
A great original Prohibition Prescription for Whiskey ~ Oi...Zss tid pc! Please see photo!
From the days of Al Capone, speakeasies and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!
The whiskey was prescribed for Mrs. Harry Soul
e,
by Dr. Brinkley, on January 26, 1931, and was filled on J
anuary 28, 1931
by Pharmacist Dino Pucci, of Affleck's Drug Store, in Sacramento, CA.
It was issued by the Treasury Department and is printed on fancy, 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.
The prescription measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/2", has two folds, som
e of th
e doc's writing is light du
e to th
e us
e of carbon pap
er and
a spindle hole, otherwise, condition is excellent...a terrific Prohibition script!
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!
