I have a very limited knowledge of these photographs. However the rifle appears to be a Quackenbush. either
BB

gun or 22 rifle, they made both. They were mostly used 1880's-1930's period. Only thing I can tell you.

that matches up with time period of tintypes which was 1856 to the early 1900s.

1915-1934?

I would say 1910 to 20s based on the young fellows hat type.

I was going to say if you can I.D. the gun it gives you a good range of age but Pistol Pete honed right in on that and gave you a very good range from what era it would be.
