I have a WW2 ration book, it is a ration book number 3. I know what ration books were used for,I was wondering if something like this would have any value, I will never sell it because it was my grandmother's at one time. it is in good condition it only has one fold and many of the stamps are still present.

Of course going through my latest issue of Numismatic News has none offered for sale. They are usually in their if not the books then the coupons. I remember seeing the coupons for 4 for a $1 and a book for $5 and another time a book with coupons for around $10. I got the impression they are not a real scarce item. They are a very historical item. The book would make a great center piece for a display of U.S. coins that date 1941-1945.

I remember those. My mother had ration books for everything during the war.

I have one too. I'm afraid their only value is as an historical artifact. They are not worth anything because there are many of them around.
