Founded in 1892, Abercrombie & Fitch proclaimed itself as "The Greatest Sporting Goods Store in the World," with the clientele to prove it: Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart (flight jackets), John Steinbeck (cow horn), Teddy Roosevelt (snake-proof sleeping bag), Ernest Hemingway (slippers and hunting rifles), and countless others. The present example is in stunning condition with blued sector hands and two-tone dial. A rare treat for the discerning collector.
