WWII U.S. Office of Price Administration War Ration Book No. 3 (OPA Form R-130)
1940s · United States Government / Office of Price Administration
Estimated value: $15–$45
During World War II, the U.S. Office of Price Administration issued ration books to control civilian access to scarce goods including food, sugar, coffee, meat, and gasoline. This book was issued in 1943, at the height of wartime rationing, and represents a direct artifact of the home-front economy that supported the American war effort.
Value is most affected by whether the ration stamps are still intact inside the book — complete books with unused stamps command higher prices; condition, provenance, and regional interest (Texas) also play a role.
