It would seem from my research and observation that the two cavity moulds cut with two different cherries are more likely products of the 1930's & 1940's era during those lean economic times. I've seen a lot of .30 Caliber rifle designs along with a #50 pistol wadcutter two cavity moulds. That would have served a depression era shooter with limited funds very well. I imagine a surplus Krag or 03, along with a Colt or S&W .38 would have been a staple of hunters and shooters in those days.

I have a dual cavity #51 Plain Base and a #50 PB that would be my "one choice" if I had to live in the 1930's. One bullet for hunting, one for target shooting.

After World War Two, and the prosperity of the 1950's and 60's, I don't see those dual cherry molds as often.

That's what makes sense to me.

A mould's value is worth what someone is willing to pay for it at that moment. Incontrovertible value is established at the moment of sale.

If I had to guess, if it's in new condition, it would easily fetch $75 or more if offered for sale.
