Yes
If your machine is a Wheeler & Wilson #9, which is the most common and last made Wheeler & Wilson machine, it would date to 1891- 1904. In 1904 Singer Sewing bought out Wheeler and Wilson including their factory in Connetticut and stock and machines on hand. Singer than made the Singer #9W, which is identical to the Wheeler& Wilson #9 - likely using W&W's old stock and adding the Singer name.
guns made in 1950 to 1960's had no serial numbers.

Just put the serial number on here and I can give you the info because I have a book that tells the serial numbers.
Before 1980, you use the first four numbers of the Evinrude boat motor serial number to determine the year it was made. Motor serial numbers beginning with 5402 were made in 1964.
you don't, it's in the model number. the first 2 numbers are the tonnage

Yes, it is possible as long as it is a registered gun that was obtained legally.
Colt's records, R.L. Wilson's The Book of Colt Firearms to name a few.
it was probably made in the 1960's era, many had no serial numbers, mossberg made most of them.
The best way to find the age of a Mossberg 500A Shotgun is simply to call the company's customer service line and have the serial number and model number handy. Mossberg has yet to publish a list of their serial numbers in relation to the dates of manufacture.
there is no code. merely send in serial number found on right side of frame just above trigger. ................the serial number is then looked up to determine year of manufacture....
