Question, vintage LP72 tank

[rnln]

Hi everyone,
May I ask if anyone know the value of this good condition vintage LP72 tank? This tank was full filled with labels then sat in garage for around 20 years. I recently opened the valve and still see strong air comes out steady. I don't see any flaw except flash rust on the bottom (refer to pictures below) and crack on the plastic backpack.
Thanks in advance.

Can you post a pic of the outside bottom with that boot removed? One way to do that is to take a piece of wood and a mallet and tap around the tank. Take your time and don't damage the tank. A steel 72 doesn't go for much around here but there is a lot of history in what you have...

(That boot has only one hole in the center is known for holding a lot of water.)

The plastic boot originally has 1 hole on the center and there are crack around it.

No prob with the boot, what does the bottom of the tank look like?

Just uploaded another pic of the boot.
Thanks

Nobody cares about the condition of that boot. What does the bottom of the tank look like? -the part of the tank that the boot covered?

Can you supply a clear close-up of the very bottom of the tank. The pic you supplied just doesn't quite do it...

oh ok, I thought you wanted to see the hole on the boot. sorry :lol:. Pic #3 has the flash rust on the bottom of the tank. If you want to see complete bottom, I can take more pic. Thanks

Yep, just one pic of the very bottom would be all that I would want.

@couv, @rsingler, @tridacna: From a historical standpoint, can you give a price range? I would like to make an offer that is good for both parties...

It’s the inside that matters.
