Please, any comments on the possible uniqueness or rarity of the attached certificate, issued to me in recognition of a War Bond purchased in my name by my grandfather during World War II.

Wow, Remer!  That's a very cool item.  Sadly, the WWII generation is nearly gone from this world and finding such mementos of their contributions and dedication to the fight is pretty amazing.  That's definitely an item to be proud of owning.

These were issued in conjunction with the so-called "Bonds For Babies" campaign of 1944.  When an adult bought a bond for a child, they also received the Disney certificate, which could be framed and hung on teh child's bedroom wall. 

These certificates appear with regularity on eBay and usually fetch in the range of $25 - $75, depending on condition.
