Issued by the Jinan City Grain Bureau in 1993, this cooking oil ration stamp belongs to the final years of China's planned distribution system. The State Council formally abolished the national grain and edible oil rationing apparatus in 1993, making stamps issued that year transitional objects — distributed under a bureaucratic framework that was already being dismantled around them. Whether this example saw actual redemption or was rendered void by the reforms before use is a question the paper itself cannot answer.
