Really Old Abercrombie & Fitch
Here is my latest vintage Abercrombie & Fitch wrist watch. It is 13 ligne, has a 7j movement by Paskar Watch Co., and a flawless white enamel dial. The lettering on the dial is inconsistent, so I suspect it may have been hand-painted. Also of interest is the Latin/French word "et" instead of "&". The case is sterling silver and the strap appears to be original.

Here is the Paskar movement. I couldn't find much on the company, but did read that ebauches were probably acquired through "cottage industries." Movement is intact, but not running. Balance staff is good, but appears to have a broken hairspring.

Here is a shot of the strap from the back.
