    1943 War Ration Book No. 3

    This is a WWII War Ration Book no. 3 issued in 1943. This booklet has 4 pages of Ration stamps. Each page of stamps are numbered and have images of tanks, ships, artillery and airplanes. Only a few of the stamps were used from the booklet. Unfortunately the front was filled out in pencil, so you can no longer read the information.

    Ration Book 3

    "Distributed May 20, 1943 the coupons were used for food and other commodities. War ration book no. 3, valid September 1943, included 8 pages of stamps, four for meat rationing, and four for a clothing rationing program never put into effect. Some clothing stamps were eventually validated for shoe rationing."

      I hope I’m gone by the time this sort of thing is reinstated
      I guess really if you think about it ,,,
      it’s not If ,, it’s When in the future

      That's really interesting Dave. I knew there were war ration stamps, but I'd never seen any until now or knew how they were used. Great Post!!!

      CollectorPaul..War .is.. you know. My mom was Japanese and a child in Japan..just outside the Tokyo area when the bombs dropped..wasn't her fault, she was just a child. Terrible stories on both sides..
