That is just a badged National machine. I don't know if there are any "clones" of the 128. There are of the Singer 15 because Singer allowed the Japanese to use it's design in Occupied Japan - and then afterwards. SO technically, there are no "clones" made before WW2 - may be some copies, but not clones as they were not made from Singer's design.

All Singer Clones have side clamp feet too - not top clamp like the American.

National was the King of badged names. I've read somewhere between 600-1000 were used. Basically, what ever the reseller wanted. There are a few where National owed the name (like Eldredge) but for the most part the name on the machine was picked by the reseller.
