Sewer Tile Art - 5/19/2008 9:27:01 PM    zanes_antiques Posts: 2238 Joined: 9/3/2006 From: Steubenville, Ohio Status: offline    I got permission to dig in a few yards today in my Hometown of Mingo Jct., Ohio. If anyone recalls, it's where they filmed the "Deer Hunter" among other films. I've had my eye on this planter since January. it's a locally made piece done in Sewer Tile. They're getting pretty scarce and the last one I saw go at auction a couple of years ago brought $450. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane Post #: 1

There was a large Sewer Tile industry in the Ohio Valley, where I live around the turn of the century. They also produced other wares and also whimseys. Chimney tops and yard ornaments among many other things were made in Sewer Tile. _____________________________ I buy, sell, barter, and beg....Zane (in reply to marjorie040) Post #: 4
