Antique PROHIBITION WHISKEY PRESCRIPTION Pharmacy Bar Description A great original Prohibition Prescription for Whiskey ~ 1 Pint ~ Zi p.r.n.! Please see photos! From the days of flappers, Al Ca pone and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US! This prescription was written for F. O. MacDonald , by Dr. Edward Babcock, on June 4, 1932, and was filled by Pharmacist, Dino J. Pucci, of Augustus Affleck's Phamacy , in Sacramento, CA . It was issued by the Treasury Department and is printed on fancy , beautiful pink paper. 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 INDUSTRIAL ALCOHOL is watermarked , as with the metal strips that are used in U.S. bills today, the graphics are GREAT! This was the pharmacist's duplicate copy, printed on the back are the "Instructions", one of which is: "This duplicate prescription must be retained by the druggist as permanent record, open to inspection by Federal Officers", the top copy was sent to the government. This prescription measures 5 1/2" x 4 1/2", has a spindle hole, corner bend and light handwriting on the lower half, otherwise, condition is excellent...a great Rx ! This is a fantastic piece of history and would be great to display in a pharmacy, doctor's office,
