Would those be rationing coupons?

Ed: That's it. Probably worth a big bucks now. Not all I have is a bunch of pages of S&H stamps. Whats those worth? Probably as much as doing something nice for your mother in law?

Coop, the ones I saw, (and they were few, because I left home shortly after looking for work in the mines at Jerome, AZ. They were reddish, and like a fiber, or molded. they were smooth, and hard. beyiond this, I don't recall much more. There were meat ration tokens, or stamps, and for sugar as well, I believe. I have a few of the S&H green stsmps, and some of the stamps that were stuck in the booklets for Savings Bonds. I think there were five of them. They, (the folks) quit putting them in the book, when Iwent into service. (1943).

Chuck, I worked for theBagdad Mining Corp., in '46/47, off, and on, as well as for the AT&SFRY.. The mine had a store where the family could buy goods, (food, and clothing), much cheaper than "outside". the only thing was you had to use the "script", issued by the company. I don't have any of it, as I never had cause. My question, is: Is there much call for this kind of "money" to your knowledge, and would it be worth much? Just "recalling the "good old days".

I've seen the 5 mill tokens with coin and medalic rotation.

I was looking close at the 5 mill token and saw something neat!
Behind the cactus is a massive clash of the 5 from the other side. The COOL thing is it's clashed twice and one clash was upside down so they used the same die with both rotations!

I'll try getting some pics and give it a thread.

I had a few of the war ration stamps awhile back, sold them for not very much. Here's what they look like;

My folks had the ration books for sugar, meat, and what ever else that was rationed. I didn't do any shopping, so I had no "exposure " to them. I still have some of the, (maybe not. I could have given them to someone), savings stamps that went into the book for a #$26.00 savings bond. There were five of them. They stopped buying them when I went into the Navy, in '43.

Rockdude, I like your "saying:
“Talk low, talk slow and don't say too much.” !
I would love to do just that, but.....History speaks for itself!

He, John Wayne had a lot of great quotes. Here's one I like even better. “Life is tough, but it's tougher when you're stupid.”

It is not a total loss, I always have talked slow. More than once I have been asked if I was from Georgia, or Alabama.
If an excuse for anything was acceptable, it would be that because I am very hard of hearing, so I talk loud, but there is no excuse for talking too much! Shocked
