Gilbert Schwitzgebel artifacts

Just a little something I've been playing with in PaintShop Pro.
The image combines a photograph of Gilbert; a pocket watch his father (Nick Schwitzgebel) gave him when he was 11; Gilbert's handwritten note describing the watch; Gilbert's monogrammed tie clasp; and a wallet card bearing information about the birth of his first-born son, Bernard. The small "coin" is a trolley token which, although not actually from Gilbert (it belonged to Gilbert's father-in-law, Charles Phillippi), could easily have been something rattling around in his pockets at the time.
