The item in this post is a decal featuring the insignia for West Coast Shipyard Workers.

 

This design eas created by Disney artist Hank Porter in July 1945. The insignia features a beaver repairing ships. Against a background of cranes, the beaver says "I'm Busy, S.C.R.A.M." S.C.R.A.M. is an acronym for Ship Construction Repair and Maintenance."

 

According to a newspaper article the Navy's Industrial Incentive Division said the design could be, "...placed on helmets, lunch boxes and windshields, or worn as a cloth shoulder patch similar to the combat insignia worn by fighting men on the front."

A few months back I ran across a decal just like the OP and today running around the flea market I found the one on the left below. The design is the same, but the colors are different and the left one is slightly smaller the the one on the right. The backs are different. Best ABN
