Both appear to be pre 1850's. I Think the thin one that uses a screw is for an 1836 or 1842 Waters. One leg measures 2 15/16" the other 1 3/8". between pin & hole is 7/8 to centers.
The big ones leg measures 3" and 2" with the pin right in the bend.
Any help will be appreciated. Thanks

Bruce,
I just took apart two Model 1854 Lorenz locks. Both mainsprings match your bigger spring. The other I can't help you with.

Bruce
my waters measures as follows:
longest 2 1/2
shortest 1 7/16
pin to hole 15/16
my 42 Aston:
longest 2 5/8
shortest 1 7/16
pin to hole 15/16
both have a rounded nub at the end of the hook like on the Lorentz
both take a screw
