10X,
Ummm, I think I've got them. I routinely look at all of them so I probably did. The 66 / 201 clones are really nice machines. I've got two of them, both SEWMORs. I'm not putting them in my Clones from A to Z pic folder though.
The only machines I'm doing that with are the 15 clones.

Joe,
Great list! Up until the last 2 or 3 years, I would never have thought there could be that many "brands" or "clones" of sewing machines! Believe me, if I happen to see any, I'll copy and send them to you.
On another note, Miriam, it's good to hear from you -- I've missed you the last couple of weeks!

I figure you could always use another. Here is a "D"

Someone just posted a blue Meteor to Facebook! Even the knobs are all smooth and atomic age styling.

Quincunx,
As neat of a machine as that is, it's not really a 15 clone. I kind of like the smooth looking shape.
I checked some time back and I've got 226 files in my Clones from A to Z folder. I'd say that over two hundred different badge names are represented there. With only a few duplicates due to different colors or features.

I wish. For a book I'd need more documentation for the badge names. And much better photos/
I could sure do a pictorial though.
To be a 15 clone the tension has to be on the face plate on the left side. There are several shapes of 15 clones that copy the shapes Singer used over the years. As long as the tensions are on the left side and the shape is a similar to Singers they we can say it's a clone.
