Beautiful working clock from Iowa. Can anyone assist on where I might obtain the date/year of the clock?

Am not sure how to find the date/year of this clock.
This looks like Ingraham's "Western Union" eight day time model from circa 1911. Mint, original example was appraised at $375 in 1999. Here is an example of a time, calendar "Western Union" which sold at auction for $250 in July of 2010: http://p2.la-img.com/289/22072/7640870_1_l.jpg. These "Regulators" were often seen in train stations and banks and were very accurate time-keepers in their day.
Thanks Bruce. I didn't even know where to start looking for the year or name. Thanks again much!
You're very welcome ElkGrover. That's a very nice antique. Thanks for sharing it.
