    Hard to be sure from the pics but most appear to be 'modern' reproductions and hence not worth very much. The Guinness one - can't make up my mind about. What size are the others?
    You could try putting them on eBay but remember that you won't be able to insure them by registered mail if posting them. You could also try some of the dealers on Dublins' Francis Street but the market for breweriana has largely disappeared. Sorry! :)

    The Guinness and Red Hackle look 1970's/80's in style.
    Players Please might be older.

    Like JD says, arse has pretty much fallen out of the market for these. You could try ebay, but you risk getting them broken in transit if sending overseas.
    I'd try Adverts.ie or Donedeal and get buyer to collect, someone may like to decorate their 'man cave' with them?

    Totally fake, a repro. The 'Player's Please' slogan never appeared around the sailor, that space was reserved for the name of their premier cigarette brand - 'Player's Navy Cut' as shown here.....

    And here which includes an image of the 20 pack....

    Why anyone would want to produce a fake version of a common-as-coal cigarette brand ad is beyond me.

    Original mirrors and enamel wall signs might have had the protection of a 'grandfather' clause in the anti-tobacco advertising regulations. It's possible that the manufacturer of that mirror deliberately dropped the name of the cigarette (Player's Navy Cut) to circumvent the regulations.
