A few years back I bought a vintage US DIVERS aluminum 80 (in near mint cosmetic condition) at a yard sale and took it in to my local dive shop to be inspected and hydroed. According to the dive shop owner, this tank was one of the first aluminum tanks made and it had a DOT expiration date stamped into it, which had expired. He therefore refused to inspect or fill it.
Figuring at that point that it was worthless as anything but a doorstop, I ended up selling it for $35 at a yard sale of my own. In retrospect, I'm kicking myself.
