I recently purchased a Weymann Mandolute and am trying to determine the year it was made. I have been able to find serial numbers for Weymann banjos, but not their mandolins. The seller believes that this instrument was made in 1915. I am attaching some photos. Any information is appreciated. Thanks.

I'm no expert.  But, you might have a look at this one at Antebellum Instruments.

There are some claims out there that at least some of the Weymann Mandolutes were in fact built by the Larson Bros. If I was to guess I would think that the one in the link in TSSH's post was a Larson and I would speculate that the "Saturn Inlay" was added since it bears little resemblance to the rest of the overall design.
