I'll use this thread for all of my artifact suggestions, maybe other users can make their own comment threads to suggest their own solutions (even for the same artifacts).

Sid James' Hair Dryer - Although most known for his role as character and comedy actor, when he was younger James had trained and worked as a hairdresser before deciding on comedy. At the age of 62, while doing a comedy revival tour, he collapsed on stage due to a heart attack and died an hour later. Effect:​ When blown, the dryer removes all things funny from its target. Nothing seems funny to them, and they suffer from a complete lack of any comedic ability whatsoever. If not Neutralized in time, the affected will begin seeing the world in an extremely bland, boring way until they lose any and all ability to feel anything positive.

(Use to negate Hughes' Umbrella, but if someone finds an artifact from someone who hated comedy or something like that, that might make for a better effect. Thoughts on this one though?)

Lela Hartman's Storm Cellar Doors/Scarf - Lela Hartman was 4 years old when she survived the deadliest tornado in U.S. history, the 1925 Tri-State Tornado, hiding in her grandparents' storm cellar. In 1999, although the farm the cellar was on had been sold, she had the chance to visit the shelter once more. In an interview with her grandson, she expressed the belief that one day technology would reach the point where it could remotely calm down or even halt tornados entirely, like a turnkey. Effect:​ Capable of rapidly ending storms from a distance.

(The Cellar Doors are a good object, but she also reported finding a red scarf with an embroiderd basket of flowers on it in the yard of the farm when she emerged from the cellar. According to her, her mother kept it as a reminder of the storm. The fact that it belonged to her mother and she never mentioned inheriting the scarf herself was the only reason I didn't definitively use it as her artifact. But, that's up for popular decision.)
