The first one is a Weeden electric motor and the second one is a H & K (Hawkotte & Klausman) electric motor.

The WEEDEN usually came with a small transmission lineshaft.
You should be able to read the WEEDEN sign on the bottom plate if the rust has not eaten it...  ;D

They were made in the 1910-20s.

I have most of the Weeden Models.

I have not had a lot of success at getting them running.

Picture to follow.
