(3) old (pre-1930) Couesnon
(4) 1936 Buffet
There are some gems among both brands in this period. At least on some examples, the quality of both the wood, and the hand-finishing, undercutting etc. is exceptional.
Caveats: the keywork may feel different than modern horns, and you may need to fuss around with reeds and mouthpieces to find the setup that does it justice.
you'll never know, until it's restored, how good a horn you have here.
good luck
