Best salvage spots in NYC?

Hey all! Looking to restore some of the door and window trim in our Romanesque Revival townhouse in bed stuy. Can anyone recommend salvage spots in the city that have mouldings (specifically looking for corner blocks and corbels!) Thanks so much

We ordered some blow molded foam ones for a job a few years back. Maybe from van dykes like bob says. We were pleased and the price was right.

I think the VanDykes website might have repro versions

Iron yard in Lowe’s parking lot has some, you have to keep checking but it’s not likely you’ll find much that matches. If you’re lucky a dumpster in your vicinity may yield better matching results
