What's on the mug
- 1Woman in a striped top
A woman in a striped top and red patterned trousers stands at the left, with orange flowers near her head.
- 2Platter of nuts
A tilted platter of brown oval nuts sits above the lettering. They look like pecans, though the mug doesn't label them.
- 3Windmill
A multicoloured windmill turns on a lattice tower at the centre right.
- 4Oil derrick
A dark lattice oil derrick stands beside the windmill. Oklahoma's oil industry began with its first commercial oil well, drilled near Bartlesville in April 1897.[1]
- 5Man in yellow
A man in yellow work clothes stands near the windmill's tail at the upper right.
- 6Building on a hill
A tan building with a tower sits on an orange-red hillside at the bottom centre, ringed by small green and white trees.
- 7Lettering
OKLAHOMA in pale green capitals over a dark green circle.
- 8Route 66 shield Back view
A yellow U.S. 66 highway shield sits on a tall black pole at the upper right.
- 9Prairie dog Back view
An upright yellow animal that looks like a prairie dog stands on an orange mound at the left.
- 10Vintage black car Back view
A black vintage car with passengers heads along a pale-blue road that fans out across the back.
- 11Shopping cart Back view
A shopping cart loaded with groceries sits below the road sign.
- 12Bison Back view
A dark, star-speckled bison is cut off by the curve at the right. The buffalo is Oklahoma's state mammal, designated in 1972.[2]
- 13Yellow bird and rose Back view
A yellow bird with a long trailing tail flies in beside an orange rose. Oklahoma's state bird is the scissor-tailed flycatcher (1951) and its state flower is the Oklahoma rose (2004); the mug doesn't say whether either is meant.[2]
- 14Storm cloud Back view
A dark cloud with falling rain and orange lightning is at the top right.
Together the two photos show the whole outside of the mug except the strip behind the handle.
Collector notes
- Oklahoma appears in three of our checklists: Discovery, Been There and You Are Here. This page covers the Discovery mug, so match the series name in a listing's title.
- The inside of the mug is teal in this photo. The seller also photographed it on a black box in front of grey wood, which is not part of the mug.
