Post some of the daguerreotypes and ambrotypes-- I'd like to see some of them.
Content drives desirability-- hard to provide much info without better photos.

ill take more pictures tomorrow but that 1 all the way to the right is a daguerreotype in that picture frame
That is not a daguerreotype-- a dag is a silver coated metal plate.
Your image is on paper-- possibly an albumen print.

Here is an example:

Most you see will be in the small cases-- the slightest touch will scratch the surface. An ambrotype is similar and is usually cased. The image is actually on a thin sheet of glass.
