 * Oscar the Cat's Paw: An Unlucky cat's paw? Technically the bones, this is the remains of Oscar the Cat, and holding it allows the user to survive any nautical incident through uncanny luck. It's funny how it's been used everytime someone got ahold of it.
 * Axeman of New Orleans' Phonograph: Like it's demented owner, this artifact is a fan of jazz and will protect any dwelling as long as it can relax to some sax. Woe betide anyone who tries to play a different tune, they may find themselves visited by an irate specter in the night.
 * David Attenborough's Taxonomy Encyclopedia: 88 years old and still going strong, Attenborough's well used encyclopedia shares a love of the natural world, and gives the user the ability to immediately identify any species of plant, animal and fungi. Provided of course, that it was discovered prior to 1952.
 * Irene Morgan's Arrest Warrant: Torn in two, this was warrant was presented to Irene when she refused to comply with the desegregation laws while riding a bus. Each half holds an equal share of noncompliant force, and people exposed will rebel against any authority who tries to control them. Re-uniting the two halves only makes things worse, while ignoring them will dampen the anger.
 * John Howard Griffin's Bus Fare: This coin was used to catch a bus while Griffin was experincing the South as a black man. Holding the coin darkens the users skin and slightly alters their facial features to appear African-American. Dropping the coin will reverse the effects, but may cause some fatigue and nausea. Same side effects as a specific type of chemical used is skin dakening...
 * Sharbat Gula's Shawl: Worn on that famous day, it didn't become an artifact until much later, long after the picture had become famous. Able to allow the wearer to emit emotion through the eyes, it can make others feel extreme amounts of empathy with the wearer.
 * Choe Bu's Diary: The original copy of the observer's accounts, reading the pages aloud in Korean will cause any listeners to feel like they're actually in the places being described. In a way, they might be. Smells, sounds and even sensations can be felt while the reader narrates. The best part? You don't even need to understand it for it to work!
 * Thelonious Monk's Hatstand: A small featureless bust meant for resting hats of all kinds, although putting one on it is a waste of time. Every day the bust will materialize a new hat in some 40s, 50s or 60s style, and each one causes new inspirations and sensations in the wearer. It could be said that each hat is a new personality, and this can lead to some interesting and varied work. The hat vanishes each night, but there's always a new one waiting.
 * Nothing for Jason deCaires Taylor yet :(
 * Vera Rubin's Protractor: An interesting artifact with a more practical application. Holding it up and focusing the centre on a point will allow the user to rotate an object from a distance by applying astronimical (pun) amounts of outside force. This is used mainly for tightening screws around the office...
