117 machines were produced by several manufacturers including White and Gritzner-Kayser in then-W. Germany. I have several such machines. And as was discussed in another thread, 'clone' is open to interpretation. Many of these machines were rebadged (different colors, types of paint, chrome bits, etc.) but are mechanically identical. I have a 117.740 that was manufactured by Gritzner and was badged in several incarnations: Gritzner, White, Domestic (owned by White at that point), Pfaff, and Kenmore.
