This is page 3 of this old Victorian phot album from Aberdeen and Glasgow. Who are these people in the photos? In photo #2 you can see the guys holding cooking tools like a pasta press a large wooden paddle or spatula and scissors. Pretty neat stuff.

First two images are 1880s- 90s and are occupational. Not sure what the exact occupation is-- others can probably help.
The last page shows early 20th century images-- not that unusual to find these inserted by a family with extra album space.
Often the subjects in albums will be identified on the album page or on the image itself-- usually the only way to ID, unless the images depict someone well known (I don't see anyone familiar in your images).

Thank you so much. I just arrived home and I think that I have a couple of pages from this book, to include in another posting. They are so fantastic. I think the 2 pictures of Carnece look like pasta or pizza chefs holding tools for a big oven.
It says CARNEGIE, perhaps bread makers?
I think it's Carnecie and not Carnegie. In the left photo, you can see what looks like a pasta press and one guy has scissors which makes me think they cooked pastries or pasta or pizza & maybe bread but I don't really know.
Could be Carnegie Spaghetti King! Salvatore Viviano and Family.
He had a PAsta Factory in Carnegie Pa. I think People seem to think the G is a C don't think so. For one Google Carnecie and it takes you to Carnegie.
https://www.pinterest.com/pin/164311086389378547/?lp=true 1876 photo, looks like same guy in photo just younger in your album?
Looking under zoom, I'm almost sure the man in Your album photo holding pasta cutter and in other with arms folded is Salvatore Viviano
The base of the cabinet cards with the pasta chefs says, "W.Robertson- Queen ST. Peterhead." and I can't find any other photos with that company name on the cards. I wish that I could date them and I thought that might work.
Dizzydave I really appreciate your help. I wonder if that Salvatore is from the Peterhead area.
Originally He was in St Louis, then moved to Carnegie just after turn of the Century, this is most likely when The first Opened Factory in Carnegie.
Seems as though speculation and google have led to a "looks like" ID.
I'd go with what is on the photograph:
-Looks very clearly to be a "C" and "Carnecie"-- google search will often auto correct to the closest high response search item and is not an indication of confirmation of a "G"
-card is marked with "Peterhead" a town in Scotland-- nothing in the photo suggests PA or MO
I do agree that these two occupational images could be pasta or cooking related.

The "Carnecie" family is found in the greatest numbers in Scotland in 1891 (about the time of this photograph):
