This Centennial Clock is located in Pryor, Oklahoma, for the citizens of Mayes County. Not many of these clocks have dedication plates on them, other than appreciation for fund raising. This one, however, has a plaque that reads:

A gift from the OOWA board of trustees
to the citizens of Mayes County, Ok.
on the event of the 100th birthday of
the state of Oklahoma
