Did you try asking at the Carnegie Museum or Oakland Library art department? They could probably forward you to an art history professor to help you prove and document provenance.

Museums won’t give monetary appraisals.

They won’t give monetary appraisals but they could help OP to get the piece’s provenance documented so when an appraiser is found they’ll have more facts to reference when assessing a value. Also a professor may offer an opinion and give OP guidance as to whether an appraisal would be worth pursuing at all.
