A striking 1979 Schering Pharmaceutical promotional brass plaque featuring the iconic mortar and pestle—an enduring symbol of the pharmacist’s art.
Cast in solid brass with raised relief lettering and classic inscriptions, this piece honors the long tradition of apothecary practice and the legacy of Chlor‑Trimeton in late‑20th‑century medicine.
Galen is considered the father of compound pharmacy. The inscription SECUNDUM ARTEMis a Latin phrase meaning: “According to the art”.
The plaque includes its original metal desk stand, allowing it to display upright on any shelf or counter.
The stand can also be removed so the plaque may be hung on the wall using the built‑in mounting point.
Weighing 1 lb 2 oz and measuring 6" tall × 6" wide × 1.375" thick, it has a satisfying heft and presence.
A wonderful collectible for pharmacists, medical historians, vintage drugstore décor lovers, or anyone who appreciates pharmaceutical advertising from the golden age of branded promotions. Condition and details shown in photos.
