RATION TOKENS

  Sixty-one years ago this week, (November 26, 1942), U.S.
  President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered nationwide gasoline
  rationing as part of the war effort.  The new rules would take
  effect December 1.   The wartime Office of Price Administration
  (OPA) issued books of ration coupons and corresponding
  tokens.  Gasoline, sugar, meat, silk, nylon and other items were
  rationed.  Below are as couple web pages discussing rationing
  and the tokens.   Can anyone locate a more detailed discussion
  of the OPA tokens on the web?
