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.
Cheers

The White Tai Chi Sword features an unsharpened stainless steel blade. The grip is imitation ivory flanked with cast metal hardware in a gold finish. Includes a matching wood scabbard with gold accents.

The BK1216 was a Budd K offering going back at least to 2005, per a forum thread found in a general internet search.
