old OSI maps

    I've had some old OSI maps in my possession for some time now and am interested in selling them.

    They've never been valued and trying to get those "Auctioneers and Valuers" to actually respond to emails or voicemails more than like once, seems an impossibility.
    But not one of them has ever asked me to bring the maps into their office.
    Which makes me think the maps are not particularly valueable, otherwise they'd probably be more forthcoming.
    Anyway, they are large "OSI County Townland Survey Maps", that appear to date from the late 1830's to 1840's.
    They measure just over 101cm x 71cm
    Each map carries a date of when the survey was done, also 2 stamps.
    Then there's a signature on each map with a date, for when it was sold i guess.
    Here's what i have:
    Clare-1842, signed Feb 27, 45
    Waterford-1842, signed Feb 25, 44
    Wicklow-1839, signed Dec 18, 44
    Armagh-1835, signed Dec 19, 44
    Tipperary-1843, signed Dec 19, 44
    Longford-1837, signed Dec 18, 44
    Mayo-1839, signed  March 29, 44
    Any ideas what they might be worth?
