I have my guess, but I would appreciate others offering their thoughts of the date on this postmark from Hamilton, Bermuda.

Thanks in advance!

Interesting, I would say it is for 13 AUG APR 25 but that would be two years too early.

Are we thinking this is the jet black/olive stamp? SG51a?

I, mostly, am thinking I do not see the green paper in OP's picture that on-line resources suggest was used for this type of stamp(s) issued before 1927.

I cannot see the olive either. Maybe my SG empire will have further suggestions. But it would be helpful if OP could share what watermark the stamps have.

For what it's worth, my guess on the date is the same as above. 13 APR 1925

Assuming that the correct date slugs were inserted, the stamp is SG51a. The descriptor in Gibbons is not necessarily accurate, as Lowe states this stamp is black on pale olive. The stamp is most likely washed out to some extent.

It looks for all money like 13 April 1925 to my eyes.
