Arm For Defense, the 1941 U.S. World War II (WWII) Home Front poster encouraging workers to increase productivity, and featuring art of a stylized eagle above various war machines If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that this poster has been mounted onto a "Chartex"-like material (we are not 100% certain it is Chartex, but if not, it is something very similar. Chartex is a backing paper that is a linen-like paper, similar to the material you line drawers with. It serves its function well in that the poster is preserved, which is why many restorers other than movie poster restorers use it, but it is very difficult to impossible to remove from the back of the poster. SO DO NOT BID ON THIS POSTER UNLESS YOU CAN ACCEPT THAT IT LIKELY CAN'T BE REMOVED FROM ITS BACKING, AND WILL NEED TO BE KEPT AS IT IS (although it is not harming the poster, and it enables it to be displayed).

It had a pinhole in each top corner and some tiny bits of surface paper loss and a few creases around the edges. It was mounted onto "Chartex" (see above) with no restoration, and no excess around the edges. It almost surely can't be removed from the backing, but fortunately, it is in reasonably nice condition and can certainly be displayed as it is, or one could choose to have slightly restoration performed to the above defects without attempting to re-back it.
