As I was a 12-14 yr. old at the time I do not remember which stamps were for what. I would like to put what information I can with these and include them in my personal/family history collection. I remember that canned goods, meat, sugar and shoes were rationed using stamps. >> I was only 2-6 at the time but remember them being used for gasoline and groceries. I recall that each member in the household got their own book. My father ran a gas station and I couldn't understand why we couldn't have all the gasoline we wanted! I also remember that in OK mills were used. Was that just a state thing or was it nation wide??? sbd
