Happy to help krazyhorses
There was also a Reading Standard motorcycle manufactured from 1903 -1924. Different logo, but I wonder if there was a connection, after all, early motorcycles were essentially motorised bicycles

There were a lot more motorcycle manufacturers in the US at the turn of the twentieth century than many people know. One of the better machines that actually lasted a few years was the Reading Standard.

Reading Standard machines were manufactured between 1903 and 1924 in Reading, Pennsylvania. Initially single cylinder machines were built, later the make earned fame with well engineered sidevalve V- twins.

Machines with OHC engines were also made, but these were only available for works racers and not for sale to the public.
