Thats a rare find. Post this in the vintage section if you don't mind. Or, buy them and resale if you are interested (assuming you are close by)
I intercepted mine in Miami from a trip to a museum.
Rehabbed them and dive it as intended with no bcd/air cell.
Early 50's Rene Sports (as in Rene Bussoz US Divers founder)

Lovely :)

What's the working pressure of those cylinders. Hate to ask, are they about ali40 sized, i.e. 5.5 litres?
 
They just look so cool!

Love your photo with your knees bent. Must be so nice to not have your exhaust bubbling past your face and making a noise.
 
This is a set of triples I made several years ago for Bryan Pennington at Vintage Double Hose. I used 3 Luxfor aluminum 30's and fabricated a manifold from one US Divers double manifold and one US Divers single J valve.

They are corks, but loveable corks.
With 5mm, no bc in sw, I need 14lbs for the sweet spot.

I have an ongoing plan to put a pair of these together if I ever find more of these tanks.
At the time those tanks were in use, bending knees and frog kicking were considered very bad...

So did those prices for the tanks include the double hose regulator?
Very hard to read.
