One could buy a new NX bottle sticker from NX for $5 and stick it on his fridge, but that doesn't mean it's a 10 lb bottle. And the most popular SCUBA tanks (15 and 10 lbs, respectively) are the same size as nitrous bottles...living in Florida, you should know that. There's a dive shop on every corner just about!
I still say measure it. I have 10 and 5 lb bottles I can compare it to

That is definItely a 5 and a 10. A 5 is the same diameter as a 2 and 2.5 used on motorcycles. 10 and 15 bottles are normally the same diameter as well. The 15 is just taller.
yeah, 5 and 10. I measured mine and got similar numbers:
5# =~ 5.25 diameter, 13.625 height (17.75 with valve)
10# =~ 6.875 diameter, 15.75 height (19.75 with valve)
and I don't have cans or bottles of anything for a size reference. I'm poor and drink tap water lol. Here's a picture with a thing of oil:
5# =~ 5.25 diameter, 13.625 height (17.75 with valve)
10# =~ 6.875 diameter, 15.75 height (19.75 with valve)
