Thanks Jimmy, They were basically throwing them out! The small one (third one down) they gave me for free lol
But that one at the top and really has me interested! Its as smooth to touch as my jnats! and the colors are just awesome! not to mention the cool wood box it came in!

And this is a close up to the blue\grey one. Its more grey then blue it only has a hit of blue. The first photo made it look way too blue!
This photo is much more accurate with the color! It might have a touch more blue then the photo below but only just!

Ok. First stone is in my opinion rather than CF it is Idwal hone. The second I do not know. The small one is Thuringian type hone. The one with the stamp is TOS (Tam O'Shanter). The Norton India stone is too coarse to use on razors.

I agree with adrspach, first one is not a CF but one of those Llyn Idwal/ToS hones. I suspect it to be about as fine as a Coticule.

Thanks guys! I would estimate the first one to be around the 10k mark. I tried googling for a Idwal hone but i couldn't find ant photos.
The small one i have some photos of, i though it might have been a Thuringian as well but i didn't want to put any ideas in anyone's minds, I have a feeling it used to be longer then it is now. one side isn't 100% square compared to the second side.. That one was next to the razor when i found it.
I new the norton of the other one wouldn't be good but for $1 i didn't want to leave it LOL. I would estimate the Norton to be around the 400 mark

first stone is a Llyn Idwal hone i have seen many ark's and thats not one of them. second stone i need to see a view from the side of the stone. third stone looks to be a thuringian type stone. fourth stone tos, and the last two stones, the fifth stone i will need a better pic of. the sixth stone is a norton indian stone.

Second one is typical size for J-Nat it is "type 60"
Looks like Takashima but i can be wrong.
