1940s DP Harris single bar bike

[J-wagon]

Hi all, I saw this klunker bike hanging in Marin Museum of Bicycling, Fairfax, CA. The badge says "Standard", chainring looks DP Harris, and looks to be Snyder built frame. Frame is single bar with interesting top tube / seat tube / seat stay construct. Seems interesting design. Any ideas what model bike this was originally?
I was going to ask Charlie Kelly and other docents but forgot.

Thx!

I can't wait for someone with actual knowledge but I get a Snyder vibe from the darts, chain ring & badge. Now I need to find one to add to the pile.🤦‍♂️ Killer frame design!🤩

Looks like a frame modification to push the seat tube back...... its super cool.....snyder built.....a modification like that would make sense for changing center of gravity for downhill riding.I don't think that frame started life looking like that.

Frame is an original Rollfast. Just needs a tank.

👍Any additional info on bike? Kind of unique frame style.

These are along the same lines as the Elgin Blackhawk and Falcon. I don't know if Snyder had anything to do with either, but they do look very close in style.

The Elgin Blackhawks and Falcons were made by Westfield MFG. The Rollfast was made by HP Snyder / DP Harris.

That's what I thought, but didn't want to say as some of those details have blurred over the years!
