Most of these types of posts contain mass-market gear from the 1950s or 1960s (lots of automatic reels). Your grandpa's stash was a cut above the norm.
From a valuation standpoint, the Hardy Perfect is a post-WWII model, after they dumped the environmentally unfriendly but very desirable lead-based coating system they used for over fifty years. It is in about C+ condition. Because that reel was made forever and because you have probably the most common size, it is not ridiculously valuable. It would probably sell on eBay for about $300-400 right now.
It is, however, a complete classic and a beautiful piece of kit. You should absolutely fish it. It looks like your Grandpa had a fairly modern line on it if that is a loop to loop connection I am seeing, meaning it was made within the least 15 years. I would simply go fishing with that.
The bamboo rods are collectors' pieces and are most likely of intermediate value, especially the Kingfisher. Mid-hundred dollar range. The Brunner I am not sure about; it could have legitimate four-figure value depending on the reputation of the maker. Either way, stash those until you know what you are doing.
The Fenwick is a basic fiberglass rod of little value and damn near indestructibility. If you don't want to go spring for a new rod right away, I would fish that. The advantage of fiberglass for a new angler is that it bends so much, which will help you feel and understand loading the rod quickly. That rod is super serviceable and there is a big retro community that is into fiberglass rods right now. Check out Cameron Mortensen's www.fiberglassmanifesto.com. You will find real enthusiasts there.
To get started I'd recommend picking up a book called Fly Casting Fundamentals by Lefty Kreh. You can get it for $15 on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Fly-Casting-Fundamentals-Distance-Accuracy-Hauling/dp/081170565X/ref=pd_lpo_sbs_74_img_1?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=TG5W464EY4P229H4VC0Z
Lefty is one of the least hidebound casting instructors in the country and was way ahead of his time in terms of understanding what a fly rod really does and how to make that as easy as possible biomechanically. His techniques -- mostly involving sidearm or "Belgian" casting -- were criticized for many years by "10 and 2" traditionalists. In the late 2000s machinery was developed that actually tracked what a fly rod did in the cast with precision, and Lefty's methods were completely vindicated. I believe his technique is the easiest to get started with and it's what I teach my casting students first.
Good luck!
