    ***Check out this amazing World War 2 OPA Token and Stamp lot!!!***
    This is the biggest and most complete OPA Ration lot I have put together, and I believe it is the biggest you'll find on Ebay.
    Buyer will receive a COMPLETE collection of OPA Ration Stamps. There are 42 stamps total, which come from the 4 different books issued during WW2. Many of the stamps come in "plate" blocks of 4. Stamps pictured are the ones you will receive:
    Book 1 - 1 white sugar stamp
    Book 2 - 1 blue and 1 red (very hard to find!)
    Book 3 - 16 Military Vehicles Stamps (some redeemable for a pair of shoes)
    Book 3 - 1 hard-to-find Brown Stamp
    Book 4 - 4 Red (meats), 4 Blue (canned goods), 4 Green (various), 4 Coffee, 4 Spare (various)
    Book 4 - 1 Sugar stamp (may be the rarest of all the ration stamps, since nearly all were redeemed)
    Bonus - 1 R3 Gas Ration Stamps
    This lot contains EVERY stamp issued in books 1-4 during WW2!
    These stamps were used during WW2 in the U.S. along with payment for a variety of goods. Many foods/items were rationed including meats, canned goods, gasoline, coffee, and sugar. Most stamps measure 1 inch x 1/2 inch.
    Also included in the lot are a COMPLETE set of ration stamp books. This set of 4 books is used and contains the names/signatures of the people to whom they were issued 75 years ago! Covers are worn. Book 1 contains 2 stamps and Book 2 is empty which is normal. Books 3 and 4 contain a lot of additional stamps. The books come in a thick paper holder that was issued by businesses during the war.
    Finally, included in the lot are the tokens and coins. There are 4 OPA Tokens, 2 Red and 2 of the harder to find Blues. Also included is a brand new/unused Canadian Meat token. These tokens are larger than the US tokens and have a hole in the center. They were issued and redeemed in Canada for meat during the way.
    Tokens are circulated and have some scuffs and discoloration.
    *As a bonus item, I am including a genuine SILVER War Nickel. During the war years, Nickel was used for the war effort, so nickels were temporarily made out of 40% silver.
    Will be shipped safely between layers of cardboard, as a first class package.
    A great piece of WWII history. An instant collection! This lot includes all of the stamps and tokens that were originally issued. 75 years old!!!
