During World War II, the US government first rationed tires (January 1942 - shortly after the attack on Pearl Harbor). Next were automobiles (February 1942), then typewriters (March 1942), and bicycles (May 1942).

The US government also eventually issued ration coupons for:

  • gasoline (petrol)
  • typewriters (already being rationed)
  • bicycles (already being rationed)
  • footwear
  • silk
  • nylon
  • fuel oil
  • stoves
  • firewood
  • coal
