Help identifying Rene Herse/Alex Singer

Sorry to bother but I was looking for help identifying a couple of bikes I got from my aunt and uncle a number of years ago. I think they were custom made late 60's early 70's touring, his- Rene Herse hers- Alex Singer "girls bike". I have a website with pictures.

If anyone can help me date or give any idea of what they are worth I'd appreciate it. Please email:

Thanks,

George
