This is a stock certificate from the Oklahoma City Building & Loan Association, issued in August 1923. Printed in black and gold tones, it features ornate scrollwork, stylized typography, and a central vignette of a radiant sunburst behind a globe labeled "Home Investment." The certificate is incorporated under the laws of Oklahoma and represents shares in the installment stock of the association.

In the 1920s, building and loan associations were vital institutions for community-based home financing. They allowed everyday citizens to pool capital for home construction and purchase before federally backed mortgage systems existed. This certificate is a historical artifact from an era when local savings and cooperative lending powered residential development.
