There were lots of clones of the CTC-15, that's sure, but my nomination for most-cloned manufactured product would probably go to the Singer Model 15 sewing machine.
[Hmm. Interesting that both product numbers involve "15".]
Singer themselves made the 15 (with some incremental improvements and changes in finish/styling) from 1879 to at least the 1960's (!), thus making it their longest-production model, but it spawed *gobs* of clones, many from Japan. Find any Japanese-made sewing machine from the 1950's or 60's, and there's probably at least an even chance it's a Singer 15 clone.
