Hi Jenna and firstly a warm welcome to the forum. Nice to have another lady with us to share our modelling experiences with.

As for your ships they could be anything from very cheap oriental ready built models of no value through to very collectable hand made models with an age and a quality that could demand a high price.

If there are no identifications on them then we need some pictures to give us an idea of what we are looking at.

Have you any idea how long they have been in your Grandads attic? Can you give us a better idea of thier size. Have a close look at the hulls, are they painted? If not can you see any small nails used in thier construction? Where did you get the information that the small one was made in Holland and, if on a label, are there any other identifying marks apart from the issue number?

Pictures would be a great help in giving you an idea of thier origins. Is your Granddad still with us to ask him about them?
