Wendy,
I thanked you for posting photos and serial numbers when asking for an evaluation!
You have two nice Parkers. While they may not be museum quality they are fine examples of Parker Brother's enduring quality. Assuming that both guns are tight on face and have clean bores that have NOT been reamed to thin (obviously the barrel thickness's should be checked) they should great shooters that can be passed to the next generation.
I've taken doubles on ducks and geese this season with DH and EH ten bores. My good old (actually pretty new) Benelli M2 with heavy Shot would have slayed waterfowl easier but hunting with a 120 year gun just seems like a better thing to do!
Best of luck to you with your two new Parkers!!!
Respectfully,
Mark
