If you know this, one point will be added to your account.
Don't get me wrong on this one...

Finnish?

[Allemano]

Nope!

[pieter]

It would hardly be Finnish with that propellor sign on the side of the bonnet...

[Allemano]

It depends...
What do you guess where its from?

Actually I think the Finns used it before the Austrian Corporal and his mob did. May have been going the other way, as it often is in the Far East where its origins lie.

That's at least the right conclusion, though it hasn't any Finnish connection.

This is why I suggested Finland:

I remembered that the Finnish Air Force used the swastika long before the corporal. Note, too, that it does not balance on a point like the latter's version

[Allemano]

The Swastika is known on four different continents for at least 6.000 years, but like you've written before the Nazis misused it.

It can't be that hard to find car companies with that "badge"....

This photo is of the jury from the Charles Becker trial in New York in either 1912 or 1914 (there was a retrial) Charles Becker was a Police Officer who was found guilty of extortion and Murder - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_Becker -

However I can only find Krit as a manufacturer of that era who used a swastika as a logo and I can't find any evidence that they produced commercials.

So I'm going to guess that its a Krit but I'm not that confident of my guess.

[Allemano]

Yes, it's a KRIT. 
I'm sorry, but don't know much more about it.
