Narrative:
Agent asked us if we could transport empty oxygen bottles. Consulted flight manual and said yes. Ramper assured us the 2 bottles were empty and asked where to place them. Consulted flight manual, no specific location given, so I approved the flight attendant compartment after the ramper said that is where they usually put them. Agent gave us a hazmat form for crew for each bottle. Any weight given assumed to be that of bottle. Flight completed, bottles unloaded. Subsequently informed bottles not empty.
