Great Junkyards: Mantoni’s Junkyard
Founded in 1870 by Enzo Mantoni in Brooklyn, New York, this junkyard is a mecca for tinkerers, inventors and gadgeteers because it has the best science junk anywhere. Early on, old Enzo managed to get salvage rights to junk left on the streets in all five boroughs . Naturally, with New York (especially Manhattan) being such a magnet for the plots of mad scientists, evil masterminds and just plain nutty inventors…and the superscience wielding good guys who fought them…the junkyard soon had hundreds of tons of junk that was of great interest to the technologically savvy. Of course, Enzo and his sons Sal & Eddie, soon learned that they could make good money off of this situation.
Today, 1934, the yard gets in junk from all over North America and often from other countries. One recent acquisition was the remains of several of Professor Ludikoff’s Killer Robots, which had been used to decimate Moscow. Sal and Eddie are thinking they might just auction those off, so high is the demand.
Mantoni’s Junkyard is open from 7 AM until 7 PM, all days except Sunday. Cash only, please.
