  1. Gebrüder Blaser means "Blaser Brothers". It's a company's name.

    > Is there a city by that name?

    Yes. Bischofszell is a small town in the north-eastern part of Switzerland.

    67 might be the year 1967.

    At present time, a company with this name (Gebr. Blaser) doesn't exist (anymore) in Bischofszell.


  2. Blaser Brothers. Bischofszell is a street, 67 is the number.

    German speakers write their addresses backwards.

  3. On a side note: There is, however, a Swiss dialect. The abbreviation Gebr. stands for "Gebrüder" - where you should be able to recognize the English "brothers".

    What confuses me slightly, is that Bischofszell is a town - and therefore the number after it makes no sense. The structure of a German / Swiss adress is as follows:

    Name / Company / whatever

    Street Housenumber

    Postcode Town

    Country (optional)  

  4. There's no Swiss Language, It's German..

  5. Gebr. might be short for birthday, but not sure.
