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.

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!!!
My parents and grand parents had to use them. I still have some of them.
