Late 1800s Photo book- I am thinking of having it restored- can anyone point me in the right direction? Also most photos are on tin- How do I date the photos?

Album itself is from the 1860s- 70s and is made for carte de visite photographs.
There are various ways to date the photos-- but as a general rule, loose tintypes post- date the Civil War.
My best on your two shown (with few details visible): one on the left 1870s- 90s. Man on the right: late 1860s- 70s.
Post others of interest and I will add bracket years for you.

Clothing, backdrop and other clues are helpful.
Thank you so much Scottvez- I have uploaded a few more from the book and a framed set that I recieved with the photo book. I appreciate your help dating them!
Mrs Stribling was a striking lady!! Babies cute too.
Loose tins (in album pages) are 1870s- 90s.
The cased images are mid 1850s- 1870.
The pair look to be tintypes but could be ambrotypes (on glass plates).
Also, may want to do a new posting for additional photos. It will keep earlier comments relevant to the posted photos.
