Styl’son motorcycles were manufactured in Le Chambon – Feugerolles in the Loire region in France between 1926 and 1939.   
The first model was a 250 cc machine with  OHV Moser engine. This was followed by a 250 cc side valve model with JAP engine.  
Most parts of the motorcycles were bought-in,  both from regional suppliers (wheels, hubs, mudguards, handlebars, etc.) and from big manufacturers  (engines and gearboxes ). 
Engines came from  Moser, JAP, Blackburne and Staub. This last make was a JAP produced under licence. 
The company got into financial problems several times but managed to struggle on till 1939. 
Interesting information on the make can be found at  http://www.stylson.net/ .
The 1930 range varied from  the 175 cc two stroke “ AB”  till the 750 cc JAP V-twin “RV”. 
The “RCE”   is equipped with  Burman 3 speed gearbox, AMAC carburettor , MEA magneto  and  Pilgrim mechanical oil pump. 
The machine has  full electric lighting.   
A very characteristic post-vintage machine with many quality details and a good runner too!
