Title: Ysart paperweight - butterfly canes
Post by: tropdevin on July 23, 2009, 08:43:54 PM

Does anyone know whether the butterfly canes in this Ysart paperweight (http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?icep_ff3=2&pub=5574631383&toolid=10001&campid=5336261829&customid=&icep_item=270430348708&ipn=psmain&icep_vectorid=229466&kwid=902099&mtid=824&kw=lg) 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.
