Maggie,  see if you have an American Association of Museums Directory in
your library. Look under Ohio and you'll find a number of likely
regional or local history museums (listed by County) that would love
these items.  (The collection focus of each museum is usually stated.)
If anyone knows the town or county of the original owner, that would be
a good place to start.
