1/30 2/1 1924 Henry Whiskey Prohibition Prescription Vintage Pharmacy Doctor Gift Philadelphia PA buy Speakeasy Bar Decor
An ornate original Prohibition Prescription for Whiskey...Oi (pint)...Zss tid! This prescription was used for a short period of time during the Prohibition, between late 1924 and 1925. 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 Henry Stellwagon, by Dr. A. A. Walkling, on January 30, 1924 and was filled on February 1, 1924 by Pharmacist, Theodore Campbell, of Campbell's Drug Store in Philadelphia, 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!
The prescription measures 6 1/2" x 4 3/8", has two folds and a light spot on the right side, otherwise, condition is excellent...a great Original Prohibition script!
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 buy items!
