I have seen a few cases where the original product has been literally
made into a mold for a knock-off. And in other cases, it appears an off
shore company has bought or otherwise acquired the old molds or dies
from a product, probably after the original manufacturer feels they are
beyond their quality specifications.  I've read CD dies are bought from
major manufacturers for off-brand product after they are considered too
worn for use.
