Answer: Harold, the Red Wing Stoneware Company began producing Sewer Tile in 1892 and went well into the early 1900′s. These sewer pipes have very little interest among collectors do to their size and little to no appeal. With the size of your pipe and the cement connecting the pipes, it would have a value around $25. Al Kohlman
