Since this is a fairly recent post, I will try to answer from my memory. First, for gas, there were stickers for the cars. As I recall, they were A/B & C stickers and the A was normal and the C got the most stamps for gas. My Dad worked for the govt. and his job entailed quite a bit of travel. He had a C sticker for the govt. car that he drove. As I recall, there were separate books for sugar. Then there were books for meat, canned vegatables, I think also for dairy products and eggs. OK and a lot of other states used mills.I'm not sure but I think that was for taxes (in those days, the state taxes weren't as high, but then nothing else was either). I think there was a brass colored mill that reprsented five of the other silver--or tinny mills. That's my two bits worth.
