Not wishing to muddy the waters two much, but a Jack Holland was the founder/owner of Holland Cycles of Elizabeth St, Melbourne in Australia from about 1925 to 1965. Holland had their own brand "Holland" of framesets and cycles, most, if not all of the latter ones were built for Holland by Rupert or Norm Bates of Coburg (suburban Melbourne). I've looked at the photo's of this apparently UK origin Holland and feel it's unlikely there is a connection, but I could not rule it out absolutely.

You want co-incidence? I just picked up a beautiful J A Holland Tourer, and have agreed to sell it to another list member. We were planning to ask if anybody here knew about Holland. It looks early 60's to me, has a Campy Gran Sport derailleur, and the guy I got it from, referred to it as a Jack Holland, I think. I'm guessing that we haven't unearthed any wisdom yet, but if we do, I would love to know. Pics below
