Has anyone heard of this watch?

If so, you made it?

Kind regards,

There was a private label Illinois made watch with that name.

I've seen "Southern Special" as a dial marking on 16 size Illinois Watch Co. watches. The movements are usually factory marked 17 jewel middle quality grades from the late 1910's or early 1920's.

I've have an 18s Illinois 21j (Bunn Special run) PL marked Southern Railroad Special on the movement.

That's as close as I can get.
