In the Netherlands we have Union as a bicycle brand.
Royce Union is an American brand. On the head badge of early Royce Union bicycles you can find the text "established 1904" and "Holland". This could implicate that the brand name Union comes from Holland but is manufactored in the States somewhere in the beginning of 1900.

Here is the badge and frame of a old Royce Union that I am building a custom beach cruiser out of it. It was a 3 speed and had about 15 coats of paint on it when I rescued it from a friends kid. I had tried to find out what model it was and the year but couldn't find anything at all about it. I am going to have it painted to match my Ford Bronco,install a springer front end with drum brakes. I have about 90% of the parts gathered for the build,bars,headset,seat,forks,24"front wheel w/drum brake,Tange BB and paint. The only thing I haven't decided on yet is what type of drivetrain I want and for now I will use a 3 speed set up.
