The listing, War Rations, Matching Gold Replica GIN 3,000 has ended.
I have some of these WWII war ration tickets and dug out this Gold Replica Cover with the exact same stamp and gold replica stamp with the image of these wonderful tickets on them. So I thought what a perfect match to auction together! Please view ALL photos.
You can read (below) exactly what these war ration tickets were used for:
During the Second World War, you couldn't just walk into a shop and buy as much sugar or butter or meat as you wanted, nor could you fill up your car with gasoline whenever you liked. All these things were rationed, which meant you were only allowed to buy a small amount (even if you could afford more). The government introduced rationing because certain things were in short supply during the war, and rationing was the only way to make sure everyone got their fair share.
The gold replica stamps are layered with a very thin 22 kt gold layer.
U.S. Gold Replica First Day Covers are produced under an agreement with the United States Postal Service. The gold stamp encased inside these covers are an exact replica of the original United States Postal Service issued stamp on the cover.

Some larger (stamp) auctions may have duplicates. Some FDCs / Covers may have someone's address on it. I take a lot of photos so bidders can grade the conditions for themselves. Please view all images for confident bidding.
All my auctions start (and end) just after 7:00 PM west coast time . I have a HUGE variety, check back often at this link: http://www.listia.com/profile/180533
Note: if the GIN button is disabled, this is because the bidding has reached half the GIN amount per Listia.
