Shes an Okie!

She's an Okie!

I did a partial hunt of a turn of the century elementary school today and found the usual clad, tokens and trash.... I will spare you. Instead, I will showcase this interesting litttle pin or button with the Oklahoma State seal. I plan to go back soon because they are about to renovate the school and turn it into some kind of condo development.

Nice button Tinman, especially considering that Oklahoma held er birthday yesterday. 8)

Oklahoma was the 46th state to be admitted to the Union. Statehood is November 16, 1907. Oklahoma means "land of the Red People" in the Choctaw language. When Oklahoma became a state, it required a “seal” representing the spirit of the new state that could be placed on a public office or a public document.

The Oklahoma State Seal consists of a large five-pointed star containing the emblems of the Five Civilized Tribes in the points of each ray. The spaces between the five points were filled with forty-five smaller stars, representing the states of the Union, with the center star as the forty-sixth state.
