Thanks Oyvind (cannot find that "O" in my ASCII letters),
I purchased a set of 7 printed bricks from a Norse seller. I knew something was
not right, because one brick was a "Slagter" (Danish) brick, not "Slakter".
So I did not know if these were originally from Norway, or that they were just a
set of Danish named beams. Is "HOTEL" or "HOTELL" correct in Danish?
I also am not 100% sure about the Finnish bricks, although the Esso HIULTO,
TUPAKKAA, and HOTELLI are correct.
That is one reason I posted all these.
Thanks again!
