Doesn't really seem that scandalous to let them be grandfathered in.

They have legitimately been selling the same product that whole time. (Except 1985!)

@apLundell what's messed up is they're the *only* ones allowed to do that iirc.

Are they the only one that was grandfathered in? Or are they simply the last surviving one?

I don't know, but I mean, it's been over a century. Even if there were others, I wouldn't expect them to still be around.
