Inherited this from my father. Need help identifying. Have researched for years with no luck. Appraisers are expensive.

Hello Tamia,
It looks like an Ansonia Figure Clock. The minute and hour hands are mis-matched styles and do not appear to be original Ansonia. I'm also not familiar with the Figure/Statuette. It looks like she may be "Demeter", the goddess of grain, agriculture and bread. Either she would be an Ansonia model unlisted in my reference books, (quite possible) or your father's clock a marriage of different parts of some sort. Perhaps your father fitted her to an Ansonia Figure Clock base. Are there any extra, unused hole(s) in the base where Demeter (?) attaches? I don't know.
Here are a couple of clocks with similar features:

Hope that helps a little bit. Sorry I can't be more specific but I've not seen a clock exactly like yours before. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Regards,
Bruce
