That would be a good bet, you're correct, it's a 1915 model.

The owner replied and said there are no hammer marks on the handle, which means either it was an expander that was never used or that it could have been used for some other purpose.

Most of the ones used for fire hose couplings are not used with a hammer. They are used with a press. Takes a BIG push to expand the inner collar. I only wish I could find a unit cheap... The average price for one starts at 4,000.00 PLUS dies and coupling sleeves.
I didn't look at the pictures, but if it goes around the neck to prevent going thru fences, it's a yoke, not hobble(s).
