Hi Betty,
My family also has glass photos. They are in the exact type frame. Black embossed leather on the back, red velvet inside and the photo is surrounded in a decorative metal. The little black box has a tiny hook clasp for holding it closed. Just like yours.
Our pictures are of the Warren family. They lived in Maine. I know the pictures were taken in Maine and framed in Maine. I have looked on the internet to find how old they are but have found nothing. I believe they are older than tin-type photos. For sure they are 1890s or older. Let me know what you find out. Good luck and happy hunting.

I would think this is an ambrotype, which were printed on glass from the 1850's until the late 1880's.
