Model number 15012 is a 1953-54 Evinrude Super Fastwin 15 HP motor - check out the original brochures at www.old-omc.de

This is about the same engine that Peter is working on:

A good reference for Evinrude and Johnson model numbers is at the following link:

As for year I would say a 1957. I have a 35hp that looks almost just like it.
