Both good

both crosses are perfectly good
1 is a A type core ek 1870 ,the other a B type core 1870 cross.

just in case you ask the question most of the time comes second with these crosses ..(about time framing these crosses).

both iron type cores where produced from early 1870 in to the 1920's .

only the B type core design was taken over almost perfectly to the 1914 crosses core design .
the 1870 A type design taken over but significantly transformed on to the 1914 crosses core .

so far ,,only 1 late 1870 frame type has be identified ,,,,,,being used on 1870 crosses and on 1914 crosses .

I'd buy the Type B, and I think a good price for it would be c. $550 because of the crack. I'd pay a bit less for the cracked, rusty Type A.
