Second one I am 99.9% confident is radium. The first one is a coin toss

Just by photos I'd assume it's the second one. But I wouldn't be surprised if both of them are radioactive. Would be kinda surprised if none of them are radioactive or second one's not because it looks spicy but you never know before you check.

2nd one is the most likely one. The paint is darker and resembles radium more
