Description:
This book of war ration stamps was issued to Mrs. Mary Stewart on May 7th, 1942 during World War II. Due to supply shortages during the war, the U. S. Government instated the use of ration books through the Office of Price Administration. These books contained stamps that allowed American families to receive scarce items such as coffee and sugar, as long as they had the stamps necessary to procure them.
