This collecting passion also extends to a lesser degree, military script. These were essentially paper coupons detached from books that were redeemable in the clubs. Last weekend I photographed my collection.</p><p><br /></p><p>My earliest example is the below book which can be dated to the WWI era. Sadly, I did not take any photos and only have one scan available but the book is complete and the paper looks good. The book is dateable because of the names of the government officals on the back - the Secretary of War. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]952401[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Here are some photos of book cover scans for Cannon AFB and Reese AFB:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]952402[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]952403[/ATTACH] </p><p>(Note the expiration date on the cover.)</p><p><br /></p><p>One from Reese AFB:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]952417[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Inside the books were detachable coupons. I&#039;ve been fortunate enough to add coupons as companion pieces to a few of my tokens, see below:</p><p><br /></p><p>Ladd AFB, Alaska</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]952413[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]952414[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]952405[/ATTACH] </p><p>[ATTACH=full]952415[/ATTACH] </p><p>Alaska, Ladd Air Force Base; nickle 16mm</p><p>Cunningham Vol 1, p. 12, AK430; Atwood 300E (obsolete between 1951 - 1954)</p><p><br /></p><p>More to follow...[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
