Pack of 25: WWII Food Ration Coupons 5 Points Meat, Fats, Fish, Cheeses Dealer

WWII Ration Coupons — Pack of 25 (5-Point Denomination)

This pack of 25 original World War II ration coupons, each valued at 5 points, offers a vivid glimpse into everyday life on the American home front. Beginning in 1943, the Office of Price Administration (OPA) required citizens to present ration coupons—like these mid-value red point stamps—when purchasing restricted foods such as meats, cheeses, fats, and fish.

Five-point coupons played an important role in weekly ration budgeting. As point values shifted regularly with changing supply conditions, households often relied on medium-denomination stamps like these to balance their purchases and stretch limited allowances.

This group of 25 stamps reflects the careful planning and shared sacrifice that defined wartime rationing in the United States. An excellent addition for collectors of World War II ephemera, educators, or anyone interested in home-front history.
