1913 sperber_colibri_norddeutsche_automobilwerke_470

Juha Kaitanen came up with this nice period photo from Finland and wonders about the make. As the radiator shape was familiar yet the badge not very clear we started a litte search and found this wonderfull photo of a Colibri with two geisha lady drivers. Working from there the road to the Norddeutsche Automobilwerke was open and the car appears to be a 1913(?) Sperber. Georgano rightuously remarks under 'Colibri' that NAW sometimes is using their initials as a logo. "This photo was taken in a place called Huittinen. The owner of the car is local bank director.  He was listed as car owner in 1915."
