The one with French Gears looks mid-19th century French. The other with German Gears I have mixed feelings on.

Could you also show the other side of each as well as the back of them and maybe the front view as well since you are trying to compare them. All angles help making a decision I think.
I cant get more pics of the scroll w French tuners ... hope these help
