Product Details

This vintage sign was used by retailers during World War II to comply with government rationing regulations. During the war, the Office of Price Administration (OPA) in the United States established a "point rationing" system to ensure fair distribution of scarce goods like meat, cheese, sugar, and canned products.Dual Payment: Shoppers had to pay for items with both standard cash and ration points. Signs like this were displayed in store windows or above products so customers knew exactly how many points and how much money they needed for a specific item.
