6/15 1933 Dodsworth Whiskey Prohibition Prescription Antique Doctor Pharmacy Pharmacist Vester Gift Cincinnati sale OH Ohio Speakeasy Ba
A great original Prohibition Prescription for Whiskey...One Pint...Zi 3 hourly! Please see photo!
From the days of flappers, Al Capone and moonshine this was the only legal way to drink liquor in the US!
The whiskey was prescribed for Mrs. J. W. Dodsworth, by Dr. Wm. Roy Rogers, on June 15, 1933, and was filled the same day by L. J. Schlanser of J. W. Vester's Drug Store in Cincinnati, OH.
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 PROHIBITION 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, one fold and a corner bend, otherwise, condition is excellent...a great whiskey script...a personal favorite!
