Found this today at a yard sale. I knew what it was immediately, do you?

$40 for the whole thing, $20 just for the bottle. I have no idea what it's worth, but for less than the price of one movieticket, popcorn and pop, how could I turn it down!

For those who didn't know, it is an oxygen tank. The woman I got it from said her husband had brought it home one day from "work". Work being as a B-17 Crewchief at Lockbourne AAF in Columbus Ohio during and immediately after WW2.
