Original Prohibition Prescription Medicinal Liquor Vintage Doctor Pharmacy Bar

A great original blank Prohibition Prescription for Medicinal Liquor! Whiskey was typically prescribed, although other liquors, including wine, gin, rum, brandy, were prescribed too. Please see photos!

From the days of Al Capone, speakeasies and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!

Printed on the back are the instructions, interesting to read.

The prescription 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 5 1/2" x 4 1/2", may have a spot or two and light foxing, otherwise, condition is excellent...a great 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! I am happy to answer any questions, please feel free to email and thank you for your interest!
