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.
