From wikipedia, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/92_Code.  This is from 1859.

Also check out http://www.signalharbor.com/73.html.  According to this article, 73 means
My compliments, or Best Regards.  Interestingly enough, love and kisses was 22, 88 backwards.

Also kind of interesting is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morse_code_abbreviations.
