2 new OLD finds

[KZ1000]

I was a few towns away working today and remembered seeing some bikes a few years ago in a small shed when I bought some signs from a lady, Fiqured I would have nothing to lose to stop and check, The new owner of 2 years said "yea they are still there" how much they worth, I paid more than I wanted, but less than they are worth in my opinion. Any ideas on brands, I am guessing Columbia on the red one

The sprocket on the red one is Columbia isnt it?

And isnt the sprocket on the girls a Monarch? I have the same girls bike but missing some of the parts

The red bike definitly looks like a columbia. They have those style rear drop outs and crank.

Here is a link for columbia serial#s http://www.columbiamfginc.com/faqs.html

The blue bike looks like a Monarch to me.
