A beautiful, original 1925 Prohibition Prescription written for one pint of Whiskey...Sig: ~ One oz 3 times daily! Please see photos! From the days of Al Capone and flappers, this was the only legal way to drink a glass of liquor in the US! This prescription has poppies on the top corners with spider-webbed borders! It was written for John Jones, by Dr. Zilas Guffin, on November 20, 1925, and canceled the same day by P harmacist, Julius Baldanf, of Baldanf & Tucker Drug Co, in Henderson, 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 written, 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! This is a wonderful piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, kitchen, bar or office! I am happy to answer any questions you may have, please feel free to email, thanks! Shipping is your choice, priority mail, boxed $4.05, or First Class, $1.50, if you are overseas, $2.00, Canada is $1.50. As always, many thanks to my regular customers for your continued patronage!
