An obscure Vintage car from Allan L:Solved! 1924 Belsize

Here you have a Vintage car which you may easily identify from its radiator badge.
Or quite possibly not.

Is that a sun in the logo? There were two car companies by the name of Sun made in the US, according to The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Automobiles by David Burgess Wise:

1. Sun, USA, 1915-1918
A 22hp six, built by former Haynes staffmen.

2. Sun, USA, 1921-1924
The Sun Runabout, from Toledo, had a 22hp ohv Cameron air-cooled engine.

No pics, though.

Nice logic, but not a Sun.
Here's the logo a bid larger (but softish focus . . ):

When Allan L says that it's obscure, I start to get scared.

Belsize.  I'm not sure of the model however.  Maybe a 1924 10-20hp Two-Seat Tourer?

There you are, it can be done!
It is a 1924 Belsize tourer, of 1200cc. which sounds right for a 10-20.
Now that you know what you're looking at you can read it in the logo!
