What was the last year USD or others offered slotted band harnesses for singles and doubles? I am running across some of these and am curious. Also last year for RENE stamped on USD tanks?

I think the single tank bands were gone by the late 50's early 60's. i think the doubles bands live on to today in AquaLung's military line of equipment. Back in the day the bands were included with the price of a single tank. Once the back pack style came out tanks and back packs were sold separately.
Renee Bussoz sold US Divers around 1957 so I would not expect to see any tanks stamped Renee beyond 1957.

Thank you Captain. I guess then it is safe to assume all slot harness and Rene are from the 50's pretty much.
