That is a beautiful old stove! I don't know anything about it, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone who does, tells you it is a coal burner.
Pretty sure the second one is a coal burner first might be post a pic of the interior of both that will tell us

Ive seen alot of parlor stoves but most almost always have a crack in them somewhere from being over fired or dropped at one time or another.
You would do better contacting one of Antique Stove restorers about these stove. The Orbon looks fairly complete. The other looks like it's missing its cabinet.
Orbon made stoves up through the 1950's. Back in the days of that parlor stove their slogan was "as good as gold."
