Good day,
Last year I was buying some old silver coins from an elderly man who’s father had passed away and he added, an encrusted ancient ring (supposedly 3rd century Roman), a Roman Denarius, a couple other ancient coins, and these photos to sweeten an already sweet deal. His father had bought most of these items decades ago from an estate sale.
Does the Woman on the left look like a younger LaSalle Corbell Pickett? Major General Picketts Wife?
As for the other two photos I have no idea.
I believe all of these photos to be originals as they are all tintype photographs.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,
Adrian
Why Pickett?
What lead you to that? What date are these photos to support your attribution?

Scott,
Please see attached screen capture of LaSalle Corbelol Pickett. I believe she is younger in the picture that I have.
What is the date of your tintypes?
“Cold” identifications are rare and usually the fact’s quickly dispel them.
All of your tintypes date from the 1880s- 90s time period.
Pickett died in 1875.
Here is some "food for thought" on photographic identifications based strictly on "looks like":

I am an antique photograph dealer.

Perhaps that is why I reached out to this forum to seek clarification since I am not an Antique Photograph Dealer.
Thank you for chiming in and now I have an “experts” opinion.
The photo on the right is probably your best of the group.
I find the woman's smirk appealing!

I appreciate that Scott.
