How do you know if the stop is open or shut? Vertical or horizontal?

There are a great many valves, any of these look like yours? Stop Valves by Kohler and Elements of Design at PlumberSurplus.com (http://www.plumbersurplus.com/Cat/Stop-Valves/992/List) Does it have a knob or just a blade type handle? Quarter trun or multiple turns?

See the image below if you have a box like this than it shows the valves are closed, Thanks.
