This letter preceeds the batch number within the Factory Order Number (FON), and denotes the year of manufacturer. Remember, the batch number is the first 4 digits of the FON, followed by a 1 or 2 digit sequence number (within the batch). This letter should be before the FON batch number. This was used on archtop models (ink stamped inside treble F-hole) and on flat top models (ink stamped on the neck block), from 1952 to 1961:

Can't tell the exact year without a serial number, but in 1955 the pickguard was changed from the traditional teardrop shape to the larger pointy shape like yours and an additional fret was added, going from 19 to 20 frets like yours, so it couldn't have been made before 1955.
Edit- More info here.
