Antique 1890′s Glass Paperweight RARE Albert Graeser Woodmen of the World Roses. Portrait and advertising paperweights were dome glass paperweights first made in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania using a process patented in 1882 by William H. The portrait paperweights contained pictures of ordinary people reproduced on a milk glass. Disk and encased within clear glass. This same process was also used to produce paperweights with the owner’s name encased or an advertisement of a business or product. Graeser patented a different process for making advertising paperweights in 1892. The Graeser process involved sealing an image to the underside of a rectangular glass blank. Using a milk glass or enamel-like glaze. Many paperweights of the late 19th century are marked either J. Abrams or Barnes and Abrams and may list either the 1882 Maxwell or 1892 Graeser patent date. The W OF W organization was founded in 1890 in Omaha, Nebraska. By Joseph Cullen Root. Root founded Modern Woodmen of America. (MWA) in Lyons, Iowa. In 1883, after hearing a sermon about “pioneer woodsmen clearing away the forest to provide for their families”. Taking his own surname to heart, he wanted to start a society that “would clear away problems of financial security for its members”. After internal dissension within the MWA, Root was ejected from the organization that he had founded. When moving to Omaha, Root decided to start again with a new group he called the Modern Woodmen of the World. He soon dropped the “Modern”, and the organization became “Woodmen of the World”.
