I just got on Ebay a Private label Hampden 16 size 17j Adj open face marked Colonial Special (#2,707,043?)

The only Colonial Special listed in the Hampden Watch Co. book is an 18 size 17j adj lever set hunter.

I spoke with Bob Arnold and he has seen one other
16 size Colonial Special with the last 3 digits 001.

The odds are that only 50 to 80 were produced.
