Purchase Record Found
After months of searching, I finally came across the purchase record for the A.S. Hotchkiss clock in the Cabarrus County Courthouse. The mystery is solved and it tells us a lot more about the clock. The clock was purchased by the Architect of the courthouse, George S.H. Appleget, who was based out of Charlotte, NC. The big thing that threw me for a loop was the clock not being a model 6A, which it must be EXTREMELY close to. Now I have to research their numbering system. I'm assuming the overall function and design will be the same as the 6A, but with some minor difference like the pendulum bob and a small step in the frame top, or possibly even that it was designed for the bell to sit below instead of above. In any case, I do believe this to be the correct purchase record. Now to learn more about their numbering system.
