I don't think ink was rationed in the U.S. during WW II. Nor was paper. I do think that ink and paper were relatively more expensive, and less available.

Dean, I mention this because if you're going to write about Playballs and mention rationing, then I think it will be incorrect. Here's a list of items that were rationed by the United States during WW II. (Somewhere I have some gasoline ration stamps and a ration book.... )

Tires
Cars
Bicycles
Gasoline
Fuel Oil & Kerosene
Solid Fuels
Stoves
Rubber Footwear
Shoes
Sugar
Coffee
Processed Foods
Meats, canned fish
Cheese, canned milk, fats
Typewriters
