This is a rare set of two original Canadian meat ration tokens from World War II, accompanied by their original Canadian National Railways meal coupon, dated January 27, 1945. These artifacts represent a significant part of Canadian wartime history, reflecting the rationing system implemented during the Second World War.

  • Details:
    • Tokens: Two black “Canada Meat Ration” tokens, marked with “VIANDE” (French) and “MEAT” (English), featuring a central hole, standard for the ration tokens of the era.
    • Meal Coupon: Issued by Canadian National Railways (C.N.R.), this 75-cent meal coupon is stamped January 27, 1945, and was used for meals in dining cars or CNR hotels.
    • Historical Context: Ration tokens like these were used to control the distribution of meat and other essential goods during wartime, ensuring equitable access for all Canadians.
  • Condition:
    • The tokens are in very good condition, with clear markings and minimal wear.
    • The meal coupon shows signs of age, with some creases and minor discoloration, but remains legible with intact stamps and text.

This set is an excellent addition to any collection focused on WW2 homefront history, Canadian militaria, or wartime rationing memorabilia.
