The image displays a vintage poster with bold, red and blue typography on a brown background. The central message is "SAVE SCRAP FOR VICTORY!" in large letters, framed by the silhouette of an eagle's head from above to below within which it reads "for disposal" at its base.

Below this prominent headline are four separate bullet points listing items for scrap: METALS, PAPER, RUBBER, and RAGS. Each item is highlighted with a blue exclamation mark shape leading up to the main text in red capital letters.

At the bottom of the poster, there's additional information indicating it was produced by Philadelphia Salvage Committee and includes contact details such as "for disposal call Salvation LOC 7866" along with their address: PHILADELPHIA SALVAGE COMMITTEE. The overall design is reminiscent of World War II-era propaganda posters.

The text at the bottom right corner states, “Approved & Released by”, suggesting that there might have been some official endorsement or review process for this poster before its release.
