Please provide many good quality photographs, otherwise the value is likely somewhere between $100 and $100,000.

Your Single Shot rifle is a standard Plain Sporting (low-wall) rifle that was manufactured in April 1891.  It is chambered for the long obsolete 32 Short rim fire cartridge.  It has zero value as a “shooter” grade rifle due to the cartridge it is chambered for. 

The value as a collectable will depend greatly on the graded condition of the rifle.  How much of the original case colors it still has on the receiver frame and associated parts, the condition of the bluing on the barrel, and the condition of the walnut stocks.  Pictures are needed to assess it.

Your Model 1894 was manufactured in late October 1908.  Is it a “Rifle” or a “Carbine”?  What is the graded condition?  Again, pictures are needed to assess it.
