Recently acquired this Ansonia clock but can't find the Model number or name of it. It runs fine and keeps perfect time but is missing one adjustable foot. Does anyone know where I could find one and does anyone have any information on the name or model number? I have tried all the online sites I could find. Thank you.

"Cincinnatus" c.1894
Regarding your question of adjustable foot replacement: Several clock supply houses sell them but the quality is spotty. Some of them are nice and round but some of the castings are oblong or oval. They'll have to be finished or painted in an attempt to match the existing feet, which can be tough. You can also usually find them on e-Bay...normally the new ones. There's one Seller who casts his own. I've purchased from him and have found his castings to be superior in quality to the supply houses but he only sells in lots of four. There are other sellers on eBay who carry the "stock" feet you normally could pick up from a Supply House. Their price per unit is a little higher but you don't pay any "minimum order" surcharge like you might have to with the Supply Houses so overall a good deal. Use the eBay Search Box for "Ansonia Feet". Good luck. A nice looking "Cincinnatus". Gotta love those Ansonia Figural Clocks!
Make the search for "Ansonia FOOT" (not "FEET")
Thanks for all the feedback. I love my "Cincinnatus". Still keeps perfect time and I love the chimes although I'm the only one in the family that does. Thanks again. I will look for that "foot". The enamel on the base is chipped. Should I get that repainted and can I find someone who does that old thick lush enamel.
Personally, I would leave the finish as original as possible. I would just clean it with something that's not too harsh or abrasive and then give carefully it a coat or two of a good quality auto wax. Q-tips and an old toothbrush could be very helpful. Enjoy!
That should read "carefully give it" NOT "give carefully it" :)
