The piece surveys junk shops along uptown and riverfront areas where mahogany tables sideboards and brass hardware surface at fractional prices. It recounts dealers sometimes buying through auctions and reselling for profit, and tells how a Brooklyn woman found a mahogany sideboard for two dollars that later polishes to a value of about 125.
