I play a 12-string that I purchased used in '71 or '72, and am looking forward to finding out more about it, ie. manufactured date, number of model manufactured, any pricing information from when it first sold (I payed $200.00 for it), current valuation, etc.
It is a model 1115-4, and serial number B-655. I will appreciate any information that is shared.

Before anybody is a smart-ass to you for not knowing you could get this info from the reference drop-down:
1115 is a Pacemaker made from 1971 to 1982,
the -4 should be for Natural Finish.
Here's where it gets weird.
B-655 = a build date between Nov of 1968 to Feb of 1969.
Somebody else will chime in and give you more info, be patient.
As an aside, does it have a shiney bowl?
Post a pic or two, that'll help too.

Thanks for sparing me that. You can tell I am a new member. It does have the shiny back, and I will get some photos posted. I appreciate the reply.

Early Pacemaker - should be an absolute tone monster. Those are great guitars, and it's wonderful you've owned and played it for so long. Welcome.
