Mention of Caliber 89 elsewhere cued up some info I gleaned on Agassiz:
-In addition to their US distribution, their production (and Touchon's) appears to have been largely/exclusively controlled by Wittnauer from 1895 until the 1920s. See attached quote from 1913 tariff & 1925 article quote from Miss Wittnauer.
-Agassiz serial number 255733 was stolen in 1917, so their serial number range is not a fit. But Cary now has good benchmarks for dating his: between 1910 deposit & 1913 tariff changes.
