One further location with possible information would be any type of City/County/Town Historic Museum. They sometimes have elder volunteers who may be familiar with your item, or know of other people in your community with further knowledge concerning said piece.
Sans available/knowledgeable volunteers, you may be allowed to utilize its collection of materials to investigate your piece on your own.
