Hello,
I recently acquired a few Danish printed bricks, but can't figure out what
they mean. Here's a list, along with picture links:

Posterijen - (I think this means literally Post Office?)

Automatiek - (I think this means Garage, what is the literal translation
Auto Maker?)
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=198300

P.T.T. - (I can't figure out what this is an abreviation for, or what it means)
http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?i=198303

I found these in a box of well-loved vintage bricks. I appreciate any help
in understanding their meaning.

I keep a photo gallery of these vintage printed bricks:

I am always looking for more pictures of vintage name bricks or any
variations. These are the first Dutch named beams for my gallery.
Submissions of new pictures are always welcome & will be credited.

Thanks,
Clark

Well, it's Dutch! (...) You're right, well it's more of a company name. "Post Office" would be "Post Kantoor". (...) I have no idea what the translation of "automatiek is", but it means a place where you can buy snacks (like a snackbar). It's the (...) (22 years ago, 24-Jun-02, to lugnet.loc.nl)
