Thanks to all for the warnings. I'll just get an Oxygen cylinder and let her
believe that is was her father's.

Now all I have to do is dispose of the darned thing.

You might be able to either trade, upgrade or dispose of the cylinder at a
welding supply company. It depends on how old it is and it's condition. It
sure doesn't hurt to try....
