Default 3-way switches -- old house wiring

My situation is a little trickier. When taking off all 6 wires, there's a hot wire at each switch. As I understand it, when the power source is between the switches, only one can be connected to the common. The way it's wired now, one switch must remain in the "on" then controlled from the second switch.

Without colored wires, the only ones I can identify are the hot wires.

Any advice?
