Below are examples of stamps with the fighter aircraft, artillery gun, aircraft carrier and tank designs on them. All are from the ration books of my Grand Aunt Edna [Tew] Tarr, which are now in the possession of her grandson, Bruce Marquardt.

Hi John,
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you got to take a break, and now you're back. I have two books of ration stamps, both with my name. I've often thought about posting them, so maybe I will. Weather is finally getting spring like, but the next 4-5 days, to be like March. We can't win!
