Antique 1926 PROHIBITION LIQUOR PRESCRIPTION Pharmacy
|
A great original 1926 Prohibition Prescription for Spirits Frumenti, the US pharmaceutical term for Whiskey...Sig one Tablspfll with his medicine! 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! It was written for J. E. Sorrell, by Dr. James A. ?, on March 10, 1926, and was filled the same day by Pharmacist, Willard G. Codey, of Krause's Drug Store, in Covington, KY. 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 5 3/4" and is in excellent condition...an outstanding prescription!
This is an interesting piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, doctor's office, museum, kitchen, or office! Also a great gift or an addition to a collection of pharmacy, alcoholics anonymous, Capone, 1920s, bar, Americana, stamps and DEA items! I am happy to answer any questions, please feel free to email, thanks!
