I’d put it on eBay. That’s where the action is, unless you take it to one of the auction houses.
On eBay you can search prior auctions and get a feel for similar transactions.

It's coal powered, too! That makes the technology predate the Chevrolet Volt and Nissan Leaf by more than 125 years!

(Probably a more efficient process than burning the coal to make electricity, using the electricity to charge batteries and then using the batteries to run an electric motor to move the car!)

I have a device somewhat like it in obsolesence and present functionality, although it’s not a car. It’s a Curta Calculator that I bought in early 1970 when I began my first private sector job as an attorney doing estates and trusts. It’s an entirely manual device that adds, subtracts, and multiplies out to, IIRC, 12 figures. At the time it cost about $175.00. It became totally obsolete about 2 years later with the introduction of the first electronic calculators. I still have it with its instructions, case, and original box. Since it looks like a combination of a coffee grinder and grenade, I’ve not tried to take it on any air planes.

My guess it is the third in the partners of de Dion, Bouton, and Trapardoux. De Dion & Bouton were definitely partners, and with the way the "et" is in the title, it probably is the name of a partner.
However, it has been a long time since I studied French...
