The 35" W215 was commonly ordered by Yaz throughout most of his career. And given the age, it could have weighed anywhere from 32-34 ounces when manufactured. Photos of the bat would be more useful in dating it.

This bat was likely manufactured between 1965-1969 as it exhibits what appear to be a P-10 "Powerized" in combination with a C-18 centerbrand. As Jeff noted, the bat matches model / length / and weight (often ordered to the quarter ounce and half ounce) documented during that period.
