That serial number points to the early 1930s, in case you are wondering.
There are so many M&Ps that there is nothing rare or scarce about them to generate higher valuation. In general, any unmodified M&P that functions smoothly is worth a minimum of $250-300 as a shooter, and you add more money depending on condition or special features. A prewar gun in 99% condition in its box with docs and tools is probably a $750-900 item depending on geography. Without the box and accessories the collector value drops quickly. I suspect a high-90s M&P from the 1930s by itself is probably a $400-500 gun. If that gun's condition is "good for its age" but still shows some marks and muzzle wear, I don't think I would go over $400 for it.
