    German WWII Uncut Sheet of Food Ration Stamps dated for use during the period of
    Jan. 8th through Feb 4th of 1945. These stamps were issued for a child from 6 to10 years of age in the German City of Geldern. The stamps were for many different types of food by gram weight. Among the listed food items are; milk bread, butter, marmalade, artificial honey, ersatz coffee, meat which I assume means beef or horse because there are also stamps for pork and pork fat. By this late in the war I would imagine that these stamps were more like promises with no guarantees. Color; black on pinkish orange. Size 6.75 inches wide by 6 inches tall. Back is plain.
