The shape of the radiator reminds of an Egg. I typed in Rudolf Egg and Seebach and found the picture!

Maschinenbau AG (1920)
Das inzwischen aufgetauchte 2. Bild eines 'Seebachers' zeigt einen Wagen, dessen Aufbauten offenbar bei Ramseier & Streun, Carosseriewerke, Bern, produziert wurden. Besitzer war 1923: August Zihler, Kaufmann, Optingerstrasse 37, Bern.

So this is a Rudolf Egg-designed touring car from 1921 (or 1920 as the caption says) produced by the Machine Factory in Seebach (Semag) with a 11 PS four-cylinder engine. Body by Ramseier and Streun, Bern.
