What does the very small print at the bottom say? You must give us all the information written on the clock if you expect help. Thanks
Here is one that sold recently . It appears it is not a common one to find . It doesn't give date and price is is good working condition , Does your light and clock work ?

Oh I See - the little wording says "Property of Lone Star Beer" and they would have had to be returned to Lone Star after the campaign, that is why they are scarce.
I wanted to know how old it was and yes everything on it works the words say meet your friends here and small black writing is property of lone star brewing company San Antonio TX Oklahoma City Oklahoma
I'm not much of an expert on these style clocks, but if you check the back cardboard covering, there's probably a "UL" symbol, date code and manufacture's logo, if not ready seen on outside, will be inside access.
With the OKC reference, would date between 1959-1973, Plant opening and closing
With that said, I could safely state a "Vintage 1960's" clock
The only way to be more definitive, when you find MFG's logo and address, if there is a zip code...1963-73, no zip 1960-62
Okay did touch more research, clock would have to been produced between 1960-1971, that's the operations of the OKC plant, it was bought in 1959 and sold in 1973, but operation were from 1960-71:
