<p>[QUOTE="scottishmoney, post: 1592777, member: 12789"]What is truly scarce to find in those ration books are the points for sugar and coffee - they were few in the book anyway and were usually the first to go - if you didn't use them yourself you traded them away to someone who would. I have a ration book that I bought when I was a kid and my grandmother explained the whole process, with the little blue and red tokens etc. I have managed to find an original spring loaded token dispenser for OPA tokens and have whole rolls of the OPA tokens. There are even rare varieties of the tokens that can be worth a bit of money.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
