...were worth thousands. A building superintendent who fished a landscape out of a garbage can ten years ago was assured by the experts that it was worth $6,500. A Brooklyn couple who brought in what they thought was a "Communion tray" learned that it was an enamel punch bowl crafted by a czarist court silversmith, worth up to $15,000.
