A lot of brand names get bought by some company just to use the name for very inexpensive goods.

I still see Bell & Howell cameras but they are no where near the quality of the old products. Same for Argus.

I noticed Schrade knives went out of business a few years ago but I still see them for sale. Not sure if it is old stock or someone has bought the name.

Some others such as Vivitar are still selling decent products but not as good as they once were.

The best candy bar ever; 5th Avenue made by Luedens.
It was bought by Hershey who ruined it. They left the almonds off the top.
