I scored five propane tanks today for $20. Mfr date '06 stamped on collar.
I thought they were forklift tanks, as I had used a ton of those in the
past, but these do not have the empty/full gauge in the center. There is a
double universal hook up, and under the yellow seal, an industrial fill
connector. Any idea what they were used for and what they are worth?

Second item, metal halide lights. My friend just got me these four
additional ones. The one I put up on my shop is a jewel, and now I have
four more to place and light up the night so I can work out there when it's
cool. Aluminum housing, metal housing, reflector inside glass panel, and
transformer to bring from 110 to 220. Any idea what they're worth, or what
they cost new?

Thanks in advance.

The tanks could be for an industrial steam cleaner. The lights could be
for a foreign or industrial market. The value of your score depends on
what anyone is willing to pay for it. I see tens of thousands of dollars
worth of perfectly useful functioning equipment hit the scrap
yard only to meet the shredder. It's heart breaking, much like seeing
a cute puppy being euthanized at an animal shelter. 8-)
