My most unusual stamp

Lunar New Year - embroidered Year of the Dragon stamp issued by Micronesia.



I never knew a stamp can look like this too. It´s more a self adhesive piece of cloth. Quite weird. What do you think, is this really a stamp?

I have won it by joining the Facebook page of Cyberstamps.

  1. It looks more like a badge than a stamp. But how cool is that to have it your possession!

  2. It looks as though it should be sown on a sleeve. Now I shall have to look up Micronesia.

  3. It looks very collectible! If it can be used for postage on a package or letter, then I guess it's a stamp.
    Thanks for participating!

  5. It doesn't look like it would be used to mail something even if it is valid postage.

  6. Great stamp. Austria has issued an embroided stamp a few years ago - with edelweiss.

  7. I've never seen one of these at all. How cool it would be to receive one in the mail. I wonder if it would even be accepted as postage in the US with all the machines the mail goes through. Thanks for sharing!

  8. Thank you for visiting and sharing your thoughts. I received the stamp inside the envelope, so it´s still mint :) It would be indeed funny to see how they put the cancellation on it.
