    Looking at the photos I'd say Dark Blue and Blue Green, but not sure if the photo color temperatures are accurate.

    Flea markets are a Saturday thing alone, Mondays and Tuesdays are best for the antique Stores ( that's typically when they bring in most of their stock) the rest are for the estate sales. The one common denominator in all of them is to be the earliest one there. I show up at the flea markets while the booths are setting up so I have first Deb's on what they got. And I always show up 10 minutes before opening to an antique store. I always show up way early for a estate sale. It's all about luck but this should increase your odds.

    I got my Coti at a Flea Market for $3.00 with a knife sharpening oil stone thrown in.
    I got a real nice slate hone for $5.00 & the finest sandstone hone I have ever seen for $10.00

    My go to is a dollar. And I always make my offer first. It's a simple trick but typically people won't shoot you a high number when you're offer is so low. I never paid more than $10 for any of the stones on these tracks.
