I don't seem to have your offline address.
I was just looking at my Ration Book yesterday. I was in grade school. Everyone in the family got their own book. Stamps for each type of commodity ration such as sugar. I still have stamps left unused in my book. My mother signed for my book, but it has all my personal information at the time on it.
We lived on a farm and had an A Gas stamp on our car we used to go to town which meant 20 gallons ( I believe) a month - but my dad who helped build Camp Adair had a C or D stamp which meant much more and he car pooled as well.
Life was interesting then.
