You might want to check with a patent lawyer, Lou. As I understand it, US
patent law cannot be used to make an invention unavailable. That is to say,
the patent holder must either make and sell the product himself, or allow
someone else to make it (for a reasonable royalty, of course). Their remedy
in court may be limited to having the court assign a reasonable royalty.
There is also the detail that a patent expires after 20 years ... a product
offered for sale over 50 years ago is almost certainly not protected by
patent today.
