I wonder if the emblem is the factory worker's union sticker?
Ok, couple questions. 1. How does it run on 110v unless it was meant for the North American market from the get-go? 2. How does it only have 2 tubes?
Edit: I see the back says it works 110-240v, still then, how does it switch?
Also, I just translated the name. Duetscher Kleinempfanger... it literally means German Small Receiver. Well, the notion that Germans aren't very inventive when it comes to naming things holds true.

If you look at the picture, you'll see a green tapped wire wound resistor. The resistor is jumped out for 110 v operation. To operate it on higher voltages, the jumper was removed or connected to another section on the resistor.
Certain countries in Europe used 110volts in some areas.
The large tube is a dual section, triode/penthode. The circuit appears to be a form of super regenerative.
