I've got some.

Like you, I thought for Charles II of Navarre his bandages and for Lawrence of Rome his gridiron. The bandages set the person covered with them on fire when they are near a flame. The gridiron lets the user survive direct contact with high temperatures that would usually burn them. Also for P. T. Selbit, he would use a giant model of a cheese wheel as a trick. He would challenge anybody to push it down, but it was impossible because of the giant gyroscope inside of it.

For Pythia, I pulled out this text from the oracle page on Wikipedia:

She responded to the questions of citizens, foreigners, kings, and philosophers on issues of political impact, war, duty, crime, laws—even personal issues. Nevertheless there was a catch. The Pythia, when about to deliver, would chew leaves from Apollo's sacred laurel tree and would then sit on her holy tripod, seated in the innermost sanctum, over a crack on the rock from where noxious volcanic fumes emanated. Dazed and disoriented, she would then be "possessed by the voice of Apollo" and utter inarticulate sounds before fainting.

Her tripod could create a gas that affects the mind. It would give the sitter low level telepathy, enabling them to hear what everyone in the area is saying and thinking. When they focus in on a certian person, they can easily find a  solution to their problem. However, it will cause the person to speak in gibberish and pass out before they can talk to the person. It is recommended the artifact be used with medical support nearby.

For Raymond Loewy you could make an artifact that either turns objects into his style of design or update objects, like turning a 1980 Apple computer into a 2014 computer. I don't know what the actual object would be.

Maybe for Otto von Guericke you could do his electrostatic generator. Creates electric charges through static electricity, but also creates a vacuum in an area the size of a room.

P.S.: Thank you all for responding so positively to this, it feels great.
