World War Production Board Rubber Stamp Farmer Supplies

Collectibles : Historical

 

"Food Will Win the War!" This was the slogan used during World War I to encourage farmers, ranchers and homemakers in America to produce more food and to conserve essential commodities. This same motto was reiterated during World War II as our agricultural and industrial back-up system became more and more critical to the sustainability of the war machine.

This is a rubber stamp from former war times that says:

"I certify to the War Production Board that I am a farmer and that the supplies covered by this order are needed now and will be used for the operation of a farm."

Underneath is a line for "Farmer", and below that, "Address"

On one end is written in pencil "$25.00 Farmer"

Neat piece of history, nice collectible. Wood base, wood handle, which is flattened on one side and says "Front" so it could be applied correctly.

Shipping of $2.50 to US destinations.
