Here is a single circle bilingual postmark dated May 5, 1883 with "TAUS", the German name for the town shown on bottom in Czech -"DOMAZLICE" which is located in Western Bohemia close to what was then the Kingdom of Bavaria,

Another nice one. If you are logged in, right below the message you will see a few links, one of which is Reply to Topic. That will bring you to a new screen that lets you follow up with another message. And so on, and so on... If you don't spot it, I'll make a screen shot. edit: Perhaps the worst graphic ever...  |

Here's some info about Saaz which might be of interest : Saaz (Czech: Zatec) is located in northern Bohemia. The town is famous for an over 700-year-long tradition of growing Saaz hops, an esteemed and honored variety that helped to define beer styles such as European Lagers and Bohemian Pilsners. Saaz hops are the defining element for the classic Pilsner Urquell, the original pilsner and first pale lager beer (1842). The brew became immensely successful and today, nine out of ten beers consumed in the world are derived from the original Pilsen beer. Below is an early postcard showing Saaz hop pickers.  |

Just some additional info on Jamesw's Prag postmark. Not only does it show the date, Feb 23, 1898, but also the time - 11PM. PM times were designated by Roman numerals and AM hours used Arabic numerals. |

Here's a 2kr newspaper wrapper with a bilingual Budweis/Budejovice (now Ceske Budejovice) postmark dated Oct 20,1888 6-10 AM (F= fruh/early morning). Budweis is a southern Bohemian town where the authentic original Budweiser ("from Budweis") beer has been brewed since 1785.  |
