I keep buying tanks the most expensive way possible- almost free, out of hydro at garage sales.
My latest find was a nice Pressed Steel 100 born in 98 with the Genesis valves that are exceedingly rare, so getting the thing O2 clean for partial pressure nitrox fills will bring total price to about $200. Still, I'm happy with that bit. But my find came with another tank. I'm not sure what to do with it.
It's an aluminum O2 bottle with a Drager valve that I don't recognize. Pictures are below. Can anyone help me identify this magnificent garage sale find?
Thanks!

The numbers indicate that this was manufactured July of 1998, it's a 27 cubic foot aluminum tank with a service pressure of 3000psi. All that's great- but the valve is odd. since it's a drager valve, I'm guessing it's a rebreather Oxygen tank. The tank has an O2 Clean sticker. Do you think this is worth converting to a pony bottle or would some Drager rebreather owner need this? Any ideas what kind of Rebreather this might go to?

Some Internet research indicates that this is from a Drager dolphin.
thanks all!
