I have two iPhones listed in Find my iPhone. How to tell which device is which?

how can I tell which device is which in Find my iPhone? I have two iPhones listed in the app. I obviously have not cancelled an old one, but I have passed them down to my kids. Now I have misplaced mine, but not sure which one to lock?

TThanks for the suggestions. Learned something. I could not find my iPhone with the location ping. Figured out it was because it was playing music at the time it was misplaced through my AirPlay devivice. When I turned on those speakers this morning, and once again tried to find it, the sound came through the speakers. I disconnected the Apple Airport I was using as an AirPlay device, when the sound suddenly came through the iPhone and it was located. So, to sum up, if you have vibrate on, the iPhone will sound out with Find my iPhone, but will not sound out when connected to AirPlay. Only through the AirPlay device.
