no letters, all numbers = Prior to 1900
1 letter, the rest numbers = 1900 - 1924 (some 1925)
2 letters = 1924 and newer.
ETA: Another dead give away, even if it was a treadled machine- the machine will have a motor mount after about 1910ish

I bought my 185 green machine at a garage sale for $20. It works fine, but is too heavy to transport conveniently, so it recently found a home in an apartment complex for homeless vets.
It is a 3/4 size machine, and I understand it that it is basically a Singer 99 in an "updated" style.
