AISC Design Guide #15 does not list it as such.
 
Here's a page from a 1928 Bethlehem Steel Manual, it has a B15 beam. However, it might not be what you're looking for. Perhaps your 10B15 is what was once referred to as a "light beam" or "light joist". It could be a forerunner of W10x15.

AISC 6th ed or earlier is supposed to list it; if you have that edition available, can you upload the info for 10B15?
 
The nomenclature could be off here...

in the AISC 6th Edition on page 1-22, a 10X4B is listed at 15#/ft. That could be the one you are looking for.

Depth 10", Flange width 4", Flange thickness 1/4", web thickness 1/4". It is shown as non-compact.

A = 4.4
Ix = 68.8, Iy = 2.79
Sx = 13.8, Sy = 1.39
rx = 3.95, ry = .80
