'st.etiennei' would seem to indicate that it's of French manufacture.  You might try posting a query on the following

It sounds like one of any number of French made 25 autos which were popular in France and Europe before WWII.  I believe St. Entienne is also the French city where Mustard Gas was first developed. Mikey.

Or see if you can find it on this website. I found a .25 on here that sounded like what you are describing but it is hard to say without a picture of it. There are pictures on this website.
