    I'm trying to trace the history of a 30 gal Metaframe Aquarium since it's unusual. Unlike the ones I've found online, this one has a glass bottom, plastic base trim, and a plastic rim rather than actual metal framework. The rim was coming loose so I removed it and found that much of the assembly sealant had yellowed dry and flakes, I suspect it may have been resealed at some point with new silicone.
    Can anybody help me, or does anybody have the same aquarium? I want to identify it's age (year of manufacture) and know more about the company. A photo of the aquarium, info engraved in the plastic rim, and condition of the sealant I removed are attached. Please help! Thanks!

    ? Based on the brand, everything I read says they are vintage. I would say that tank is from the 60's or 70's
