Good luck with your auction!
Here's an excellent discussion of the various (US) "Special" Amberol cylinder records.

Thank you. I learned something new today!
The link above has great information about many of the Special Edison promotional records.
Here's a link about the promotion for the "D Series"
https://archive.org/details/edisonphono ... /page/n178
As a promotional scheme in 1910, you would have gotten 6 of the these records by referring a potential buyer of any new Edison Phonograph to a dealer, and that referral turned into a sale!
These records were not offered for sale, making the 24 titles of the "D Series" highly sought after.
