Does anyone know whether the butterfly canes in this Ysart paperweight were used by both Salvador and Paul, or are we in the realms of the unknown?

I have not (yet) seen that butterfly cane (as shown in the eBay listing) in any item that I believe was made by Paul Ysart.

However, I can say with a good degree of confidence that the weight in the listing was not made by Paul. And it may have been made from 1946 up to the mid-1950s (i.e. Ysart Brothers company), not the 1930s.
