I think it brings up the question of when a clone stops being a clone. I'm pretty sure the body of the machine came out of the same molds they used for regular 15 clones, how much of the internal parts remain the same I couldn't say.

I have a circa WWII Model 15 clone badged White that looks very much like this and threads the same way. However, here there is no stitch length, no control to drop feed dogs, and are there any feed dogs? It looks like it has a dedicated hopping foot and a thread guide for yarn, perhaps. I'd guess that someone started with a Model 15 clone body and modified it in a professional machine shop. I think this machine has lived it's life in a sewing production shop and had only one job.

I believe it was designed and manufactured by the Glennen machinery company which went out of business many years ago.
Probably not a clone but a machine that was designed similarly to the like models of its era in a small machinery shop. Probably testing the " Can we make money with sewing machines water".
So many start up companies in that time period, so I think this was another one.
I didn't read the thread so sorry if someone else has already posted the same as I just did.
I really like the looks of the machine too.
