Does each star have 4 points?
Made by a company called Mall.

OK, thanks for the pics. That logo is different than the Mall brand logo.
That is from a company called Driester, or somthing like that. I will post some pics tomorrow.

Hi Mark,
It is a Genuine VW book, from Volkswagen Australia.
At first the it looks like a very boring book, and most of it is, except one chapter, which has the logos and marks of the supliers for VW in Germany and Australia.

Here is a pic of a Driestern mirror, it is different to yours, but it shows you the logo and the company that made it.

The round mirror is in a 1954 Accessory catalog for Volkswagens.
It mounts to the side of the front hood. Like in this example:
