WW II O.P.A marked items, show them!

[Brian Keith]

During WW II, the O.P.A. was the Office of Price Administration, a government program to attempt to control inflation during the war. From a popular internet site: The OPA had the power to place ceilings on all prices except agricultural commodities, and to ration scarce supplies of other items, including tires, automobiles, shoes, nylon, sugar, gasoline, fuel oil, coffee, meats and processed foods. At the peak, almost 90% of retail food prices were frozen. It could also authorize subsidies for production of some of those commodities.

Here are some OPA marked items:

 

First up is Corpsman insignia from the famous “Wosk” sales, with a Ceiling price of $2.00 and .25 cents.

 

Please add to this thread if you have any examples.

Thanks for looking,
