SD,

Singer changed the 15 somewhere in the 50s or 60s to a more modern design. So any Japanese machine that is patterned after that is still considered a clone.

There is also clones of the 66 / 201s and the 99s.

Here is a traditional black clone:

Here is a really pretty clone:

Here is a different shaped clone:

This is my Coronado Princess, sold by the old Gambles Dept Store

Here is a couple non 15 clones:

This is my SEWMOR 404. It's a clone of the Singer 66 with a bit of 201 in the mix.

This is my SEWMOR 303. It's a Xerox clone of the 20s vintage Singer 99K-10 aluminum machine.

So, there are tons of clones out there. They are a fun way to collect different machines.
