I know this isn't a detecting find but I thought it might be of some interest to a few people. I knew these things existed, but, I never saw them up close and personal before. My wife was given these by her dad after he was going though his personal belonging today. The tokens appear to be stamped waxed cardboard, there are 4 of the rations books in the folder. I think that was quite the gift from here father. I hope you enjoy.

Very cool...
I got a bunch of those red point tokens, but to see it with your ephemera, makes it more significant.
 

A great heirloom Dan, I was fortunate enough to get my great grandparents set of ration books, partially completed also. Sub 8-)
 

It has her dad and mom's old books in there, that's quite a keepsake for sure.

here you go...those tokens also came in blue...

OPA Tokens
 

I hate to say this but my mother kept mine along with the red and blue tokens. I was born in 1944 and found them after she died.
