Bradshaws

When clearing out the loft I found 4 Bradshaws that were given to my father-in-law by his uncle in 1942. The dates of the guides are 1840, 1841, 1842 and 1844. I have given them to my brother-in-law who I am sure will wish to dispose of them if they have any value. I hope the attached photos will appear, as the pop-up seems to indicate they are too large.
Can anyone point us in the right direction for getting these items valued/sold? They were acquired for the princely sum of £6 in the 1940s!
Many thanks for any enlightenment you can give.

Yup I should think that they might do well at auction. The world and his dog know about Bradshaws now, courtesy of the BBC and Michael Portaloo.
