Ration Book & Chocolate Gift Set
£9.50
A charming replica Ration Book Supplement and Ration Dairy Milk Chocolate Block, perfect for LARP scenes, education displays, or wartime storytelling. Made in Wales and faithfully styled after the 1940s original.
This carefully presented pairing from The Ration Room offers a faithful reproduction of two iconic wartime essentials. Included in this set is a Ration Book Supplement and a block of Dairy Milk Ration Chocolate wrapped in classic paper and foil. Styled exactly as they would have appeared on the British Home Front, these pieces are ideal for historical education, heritage centre displays, and LARP authenticity.
The Ration Book Supplement is printed on aged-look paper stock with realistic typeface and layout. Just as issued during the Second World War by the Ministry of Food, the booklet includes space for the holder’s name, address and National Registration Number. It is marked with the classic Official Paid stamp and bears realistic fields for serial numbers and issue dates. This replica version is blank inside, making it useful for roleplay, costume additions or education packs where learners are invited to complete the information themselves. It folds cleanly and is lightweight enough to tuck inside an evacuee suitcase or gas mask box.
The accompanying Ration Dairy Milk Chocolate Block is just as evocative. Wrapped in period style white paper with printed text and sealed in traditional silver foil, this is not merely a sweet but a powerful visual and tactile piece of social history. Marked with the controlled price of 6D and ration point value of two, the packaging echoes the limitations and structure of wartime rationing where luxury goods like chocolate were tightly regulated and often unavailable. Even the text “Product Group C412” adds to the realism, and the whole item is visually indistinguishable from what a child might have found in a parcel from home or saved up for as a treasured treat.
This set is particularly effective when used in LARP scenarios or roleplay where characters must account for their food supply, justify possessions or interact with government issued documents. It also works well in classroom settings, allowing students to engage with rationing in a physical and relatable way. Whether set on a school desk or inside a recreated kitchen drawer, these two items tell a vivid story of wartime daily life. In museums or themed events, they also serve as affordable props that add instant authenticity to any scene.
Though the chocolate block is safe to display and handle, please note that it contains no nuts but is made in a nut environment. If used in reenactment catering or opened for demonstration purposes, care should be taken around allergies. Otherwise, it remains sealed and shelf stable. The item is made in Wales, using ingredients and printing methods that honour the tone and detail of the original 1940s issue without compromising modern standards of food safety and quality.
The Ration Room continues to lead in replica wartime goods that are both educational and engaging. Every fold, typeface and label is chosen to evoke the spirit of resilience, discipline and occasional delight that characterised British life on the Home Front. This pairing of a chocolate block and ration book supplement is a fine example. Whether used as part of a larger set or enjoyed as a standalone item, it brings history alive in the hand, just as it was once carried in coat pockets, knapsacks and handbags across the country.

Our use of them is solely to provide faithful historical or aesthetic representation, not to mislead customers or imply endorsement, affiliation, or authenticity of origin.
UK Copyright & Fair Dealing
The UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988 provides limited “fair dealing” exceptions under which copyrighted works may be reproduced without permission in certain circumstances (for example, criticism, review, research, private study, or reporting of current events). See Section 29 & Section 30, CDPA 1988. Those exceptions are restrictive and must satisfy that the copying is “fair” in each case. See also UK government guidance on permitted exceptions / fair dealing.
Additionally, since 2014, the CDPA was updated to explicitly allow reproduction for the purposes of parody, caricature or pastiche under fair dealing. See Section 30(1) CDPA 1988 which states that “fair dealing with a work for the purposes of caricature, parody or pastiche does not infringe copyright.”
UK Trade Marks & Passing Off
The Trade Marks Act 1994 grants registered trademark owners exclusive rights to use their marks in relation to particular goods or services. Use of identical or similar marks in trade for related goods may constitute infringement if there is a likelihood of confusion or association with the original brand. See Section 10, Trade Marks Act 1994 and Section 5, TMA 1994.
Where a mark is not registered, the common law tort of passing off may still provide protection. A claims under passing off require showing (1) goodwill or reputation in the mark, (2) misrepresentation by the defendant, and (3) damage to the claimant. See an overview of passing off principles at Forbes Solicitors – Passing Off Claims and UK Trade Mark Litigation Guide (passing off section).
