It's an ignition for a two-stroke engine.

As it was said, back then the 4 ring emblem belonged to the big company Auto Union. These were symbols for the 4 older companies, which were united into the AU: DKW, Wanderer, Audi and Horch. And from these, as far as I know, it was only DKW that produced 2 stroke engines /Wanderer were middle class cars, Audi were high class, Horch were super class/. DKW produced 2 stroke cars, motorcycles and power generators.
