The irreplaceable sculptures, including a bronze of Joe Louis and a brass water fountain from the old downtown Hudson's, were stolen from a back store room at Fort Wayne.
Thirteen of the artifacts were taken around Nov. 3, according to police.
Detroit police said they would be checking flea markets and online auction Web sites to see if the items are being sold on a black market.
Anyone with information on the whereabouts of the artifacts is asked to call Detroit police.
