Dear Scott,
Take it out, clean it off to bare metal in any rusty spots and
inspect it yourself.  Looks like the PO has detached the bottom
corners of the certification label, so you won't have had water
collecting in there.  This is an ASME-spec tank with no requirement
for periodic certification, so if it looks decent paint it up and use
it.  If it still has the rectangular regulator, replace with a
Marshall Brass 290.

Yours,
David
