Greetings from the Embassy of Imperial Coldland Local Post in SE Michigan. Bear is our totem, so Bear adorns most of our private-issue stamps & stationery. Home base is Coldland Local Post in Taiwan, the totem there is Wolf. There are several Coldland Legations and Embassies in various places around the world, each with its own totem.

Welcome to Stamp Bears, I.M. DeBear! I see you are located where it is actually physically cold!

Looking forward to reading more of your posts and seeing pics of your stamps!

I recently started a thread on Coldland Local Post issues, but hadn't finished posting the remaining pics I had. I don't collect them, so I don't have many pics. But if you could add onto that thread (pics & info), I'd appreciate it!

Re your last post, Yes I certainly would like to receive the new COVID stamp. As you have probably guessed by now I collect anything that goes through the mail. (well, anything legal that is.) (And postal related) thanks in advance.

DeBear, I have a question for you, I have an envelope that is rather battered but the stamps are okay, will they soak off in the normal way or should I close clip them discarding the tatty envelope?

All Embassy stamps and stationery issued in the past several years bear invisible ultraviolet anti-forgery security features. A black light will reveal this feature, which is intentionally highly susceptible to water damage. The best approach would be to leave the stamps trimmed on paper with as much of the cancel as you prefer.

According to the Embassy's archives, water-soluble UV taggant was first used on an extensive set of Bear stamps issued October 18th, 2014.

I know you take an interest in Coldland issues as well. You'll notice that Coldland doesn't use UV tags, it's strictly an Embassy thing.
