You might look on the auction house's website.
Or are you asking which auction house best to contact? |

The stamps you have previously shown would not justify auctioning. Have you found anything else? |

Those are perfectly decent 3c covers, but there is not enough value there for any auction house that I can think of, to take as a consignment. Most houses will have some minimum dollar-amount required for a consignment, which is well above the value of this group. I agree that ebay is the place for material like this. No question. |

If you don't want to sell, yourself, on ebay, you may be able to find a seller on ebay who would take your consignment, of course for a commission. |

As individual covers, they are not worth enough for an auction to list individually. As a group lot, it may have enough value to be listed as a group lot HOWEVER, auction firm usually require a minimum TOTAL CONSIGNMENT VALUE before they accept material. Your one group lot would not make that minimum which often $1000 USD or above. Your materiel cannot even make the most generous limit of $250.
If you material is worth $100, you will make less than $50 after all commissions and expenses of mailing material to the auction firm and it will take 4-8 months to get paid from the date you send the material, IF IT SELLS.
You need to understand "Classic" does not mean "worth money." |

Do you have more material? You need a lot more to meet the minimum of an auction house. A tough sell otherwise. |

Google:
Kelleher Auctions (NJ USA) Schuyler Rumsey Philatelic Auctions (San Francisco, CA USA) Dutch Country Auctions (Delaware, USA)
They all handle classic material. I would be surprised if they handled bothered with your small group. Each has an email on their webpage. It may be easier for you to contact a firm in Europe which handles US common postal history.
A retail seller is Jim Forte of Las Vegas, NV USA and he buy out right. He may send you a dollar or so each per cover. |
