I can see what you mean, but there is no connection to Brennabor.

French?
Oui
Donnet Zedel?
No
La Licorne?
No, more obscure
If it's more obscure, then perhaps it was short-lived. Did this company make cars for more than 5 years?
Yes
Located in a city, where a lot of other carmakers were also to be found?
No, I think he was the only car manufacturer in his town.
Is it from the late 1920s?
I don't have a year for this picture, but late Twenties / early Thirties is just about right.
Are you aware of any survivors of this brand?
Yes, as I understand it there is at least one survivor of the brand.
Double name like Emile Pilain?
Double name: yes
Emile Pilain: no
It's a Sima Standard?
No
Clarin Mustad?
No
Serf et Didier?
Almost, locked for you for another try.

Hmmmm...not quite sure if you mean the marque is wrong or misspelt.
The information I have (not found in the usual sources) is as follows -
Serf et Didier built between 1928-1933 by Entreprise Serf et Didier, Place de la Mairie, Colombey-les-Belles
(M-et-M)
One car delivered each month.
If this is incorrect, please open it up again.
You are absolutely right about the company, but the cars were not badged as "Serf et Didier", but as ...
Still locked.
Now I see...
The cars were sold as Robert Serf and made in a small factory by Georges Didier who also sold Ford cars and Fordson tractors.
The first model, which made up the bulk of production, was marketed as a saloon, tourer or commercial traveller's car. Some sports cars were also built.
The bodies were made locally but not in Didier's factory.
Years of production of Robert Serf cars was between 1925-1934. Total production was around 80 cars.
