As the US entered World War II during the winter of 1941, shortages began almost immediately. By necessity our economy shifted to war production almost overnight, and consumer goods were no longer top priority.
In the United States, nationwide food rationing was instituted in the spring of 1942, where each and every member of the family (including babies) were issued ration books by the Office of Price Administration (OPA). These books contained stamps and gave precise details of the amounts of certain types of food that you were allowed. Rationing insured that each person could get their fair share of the items that were in short supply due to the war effort and import reductions. By the end of the war, over a hundred million of each ration book were printed.
Types of rationing included: Uniform coupon rationing (sugar is an example) provided equal shares of a single commodity to all consumers; Point rationing provided equivalent shares of commodities by coupons issued for points which could be spent for any combination of items in the group (processed foods, meats, fats, cheese); Differential coupon rationing provided shares of a single product according to varying needs (gasoline, fuel oil); and Certificate rationing allowed individuals products only after an application demonstrated need (tires, cars, stoves, typewriters).

My mama told me about ration stamps. I wonder if they are collectable now.
Anything and everything from the WWII era is collectable. If you can lay your hands on it you're lucky. This stuff is expensive.
I found a little black book that belonged to a navy guy and he used it for a diary. Dated one entry to show he had just left Pearl Harbor the day before it was bombed. Have no clue how it came to be in the box of stuff I bought at an auction but was glad to find it. Have planned to do a shadow box and I also have a book of ration stamps that belonged to my grandfather to put with it. Will make a nice momento once I get it together.

I have a letter from a soldier from World war two.
It is in an envelope with a stamp I was collecting.
I have a small stamp collection.
I didn't remove the stamp. It's worth more on the envelope with the letter.
