Okay, I won't get offended by the mix-up of dutch and danish.....
You're lucky to have posted here, 'cause those prints are dutch, not danish.
Posterijen.
Post Office would be Postkantoor. Posterijen means Postal Services.
Automatiek.
Literally automatic. Nothing to do with making automobiles. It's actually
auto-buffet. Sort of a self service chipper...
P.T.T.
Post Telegraaf Telefoon, so Post, Telegraph, Telephone. They used to run
postal services and the phone network before the world went crazy over
privatisation.
Feel free to ask again if you find more. I'll have a look in my own
archives, see what I have. There's a good few familiar ones there. I'm sure
I have all the plane-windows except the blue/white, I've got both Police
variaties, the 6-wide car front, a few colors of the Legoland ones and some
4-wide fronts.
Do you do rectangular bricks only? I guess including 2x2 45 slopes would
make the list very long....
Cheers,
Duq
