On the back I see an A 01993 and that is the only number I see on it.
I think it is a 64 or 65, blackface of course, non-reverb.

thanks
Dennis

1964 is correct. Can nail it down more accurately by week and month with tube chart two digit code and codes possibly stamped inside the chassis. Speaker and trannie codes are helpful as mentioned.

Blackface Princetons were made from 63 to 67. There were two circuits, one with a single tone knob and one with a bass and treble knob. Look up the "Fender Field Guide" on google. It has a lot of info on the older Fender amps. Pictures would help a lot.

I have a December of '64 Princeton serial number A 01901. The tube chart markings denote mine as 1st production run.

Without pics this info is as close are you're going to get. Your serial number A 01993 might be an early '65 as your only 92 away from mine.

Here's the listing of chassis numbers from Superior Music (link attached)

http://www.superiormusic.com/page195.htm

Princeton Reverb AA1164 (blackface)
A00100 to A02100 - 1964
A02100 to A07500 - 1965
A05500 to A14500 - 1966
A14000 to A18700 - 1967
