...matted green jungles of Brazil's primitive Amazon valley territory of Amapá sits a surprising little town. With its broad, paved streets, ranch-style houses, well-stocked supermarket and air-conditioned club, it looks more like a suburb of New York or Los Angeles than a settlement in the wilderness.

But esthetics have nothing to do with the new trend in the antique trade. Its name is "junk." True, it has to be out-of-the-ordinary junk. But to the expert spotter, every attic and old barn in the U.S. is a potential treasure-trove of salable detritus. The technique...
