Subject: Tank ID help needed
I just picked up to old steel tanks and am trying to find out more about them.

They were assembled as doubles with a Dacor single center post manifold
and old dacor backplate/harness.

They are about the size of steel 72's perhaps smaller. 

The first hydro is Aug of 1958, second and only other is July of 1973.

The working pressure is 1800 PSi (stamped: ICC-3AA1800)

Serial numbers: 8023CC and 7993CC

The manufacturer stamp looks like the outline of an interstate highway
sign, with the letter H stamped inside and the letters WK to the right.

the valve opening has what looks like an adapter to fit the dacor 1/2" 
manifold. without the adapter the neck looks more like a regular neck 
on a steel 104. (I cant tell what size as of yet, I cant get the 
valves out...) 

The only other peculiarity is the bottom, it is not round, but more like
the bottom of a plastic soda bottle, with the little "lump legs?"
e.g. look at the bottom of a Pepsi one liter plastic bottle and add one 
more lump. (six total).

Can anyone figure out who made these tanks, and if so, exactly what size 
they are? any safety records (problems)?

Thanks. If they pass hydro, they're gonna be short deco O2 bottles.
