OPA Blue Point Rationing Token
OPA Blue Point Rationing Token Coded as CX Great shape OPA stands for Office of Price Administration Tokens were issued from 1942 till 1945 They were used to ration certain retail items during WWII. The items rationed included canned goods, meats, sugar, coffee, tires, gas etc. The meaning and reasons for the code letters on the OPA's has not been determined, to the best of my knowledge. Theories include, coding for specific geographic areas and a way of preventing counterfeiting. Known Blue Point letter combinations include.
