They discontinued them because it was decided that it was ostentatious
to have a big one to advertise the fact that you had donated more than
other people.

Having said that, today I noticed a woman with one of the big ones
attached to the grill of her Wolseley.  Presumably she has had it
since the 1950s and brings it out of storage every November.
