I have no idea what they are, or what they are worth. Any insight would be greatly appreciated

Sorry guys, the picture worked for me, but I used tinypic instead this time.

Any insight on what brand/make they are?
 
The image first linked worked for you because it was a link to your own email account and not a public access.

The bottom sword is probably Spanish made and known as the Tizona del Cid. If there is no manufacturers mark on the blade, who's to say who produced it? A simple internet search will bring up many possibilities of pricing and seller sources.This is a popular decorative sword and should not be regarded as functional.

The white scabbarded jian looks also to be a decorative and inexpensive sword. Is the scabbard plastic? Any marks at all? China and Spain would be the likely sources for manufacture.

Both types drown Ebay and you might run some searches there as well as general internet searches.

Found some other pictures of your jian at a vendor. It has been discontinued and was very budget priced. No manufacturer was listed.
