So according to the links SteveH provided, the badge identifies the hand crank machine as distributed in Europe by J Silberg of Hamburg. And going by the pictures and descriptions on the site about Frister and Rossman machines it most likely was made by them. With a serial # of 1281203 if it was by them I'm thinking the date of manufacture would probably have been around 1908 - 1912. (Given the span of 1896-1914 had #s from715233 to 1500000)

Very interesting reading on those links BTW!
