U.S. Local stamps are highly reprinted, faked and forged. Thus yours are statistically likely not originals. They will have some value, but will typically have less value than the originals.

The reference for these is Larry Lyons' 3-volume "The Identifier for Carriers, Locals, Fakes, Forgeries and Bogus Posts of the United States". Otherwise you might try posting high-resolution scans of each individual stamp here and those of us with the Lyons' books can take a closer look.
