A beautiful original 1928 Prohibition Prescription for Whiskey...Oi (pint)...S. Ziv tid!  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 was written for Mrs. H. W. Brenner, by Dr. P. F. Brenner, on March 6, 1928 and was filled on March 8, 1928, 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 5 3/4", was hole punched Canceled by the pharmacist, has a dark paperclip mark on the top left, otherwise, condition is excellent...a beautiful Rx!

This is a fantastic piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, museum, wine cellar, bar or office! Also a great gift or an addition to a collection of pharmacy, nursing, medical, Alcoholics Anonymous, Capone, moonshine, 1920s, bar, Americana, stamps and DEA items! I am happy to answer any questions you may have, please feel free to email, thanks!
