This item is a guaranteed genuine prohibition prescription. It is just about as close as you
can get to the real prohibition experience: This prescription is the original copy handed by the Doctor
to the patient, who then took it to the pharmacy where the pharmacist exchanged it
for a pint of whiskey ... finally stamping or writing on the prescription "void", "cancelled" or sometimes "filled."
This prescription is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing the unique blend of science and politics that defined the Prohibition era. With its bold headlines and detailed prescriptions, this document is a true treasure for anyone interested in the history of Prohibition.
There is some wear to edge of the prescription as to be expected with something this old. A great conversation piece. if you examine the back of these prescriptions you can sometimes see two crossed lines - they are evidence that
on taking the prescription from the doctor it was folded to go into a pocket, a wallet or a purse. Many other dates are available.
If you like what you see, come visit my store, and find prohibition cocktail shakers, flasks, decanters, and rock 'n' roll picture discs; and occasionally gold coins from the Emperor Nero and armor from the English civil war, outside-horn and suitcase phonographs and more.
Make some good memories today,
