I'm looking to pick up a SS keg, can anyone tell by this picture if this keg is Aluminum or SS?

It's really hard to tell sometimes. Back when they made kegs like that, they were made of both. It looks like aluminum because of the dullness of the metal, but I could be wrong. Try sticking a magnet to it. Most aluminums will not hold a magnet. Then again, not all SS will hold magnets and you really want the SS that doesn't.
