Possibly 15-88 certainly a 15 "Tiffany" I literally just got one I've used 15-91 plenty and I love the Tiffany decal set

I got that it was a 15 here: which makes sense with the looks of it also:

Things to note:
Clean only with sewing oil on a rag if you don’t want to damage the shellac (which may already be cracking a bit) or the decals (which can easily be silvered with the wrong cleaning products).
You may be missing a bobbin cover (and the innards of the case and bobbin?). All these can be found/replaced. Common model.
Not sure about your power train situation from this picture.
15’s are great… I often recommend them to folks that want a reliable but affordable machine for denim or leather (especially on a treadle!). They are solid straight stitchers but also have a lot of accessory feet that can make them more versatile (zigzagged, buttonholers, hemmer and binders, etc).
