Prohibition Ends - “At Last!”
When Franklin D. Roosevelt took office in 1933, a constitutional amendment to repeal Prohibition was already making its way through the state legislatures.
FDR acted immediately to ease Prohibition with the Beer-Wine Revenue Act. Prohibition was officially repealed on December 5, 1933.
This 1933 goblet commemorates the end of Prohibition with a series of seven vignettes, including a “G.O.P.” elephant and a “D.E.M.” donkey celebrating over a barrel of beer. The etched caption reads, “At Last!”

If there’s one thing both sides can agree on, it probably is indeed beer. Further reading: How Prohibition Worked.
