Hi Goldstein,
Are we talking about one, two, or three pieces? I presume tinder boxes?

Hi,
If I could only read the medallion. It probably depicts St. Paraskeva, the patron of orphans, widows, invalids, motherhood (in connection with enameled motif).

Oh!! So interesting box. There is Old Russian text. Once Sergiy Radonezhskiy (Sergius of Radonezh) prayed, and Our Lady appeared to him.
She said: «Не ужасайся, избранник мой! Ведь я пришла посетить тебя. Услышана молитва твоя о учениках твоих, о которых ты молишься, и об обители твоей,— и не скорби больше: ибо отныне всего будет здесь в изобилии, и не только ради жизни твоей, но и после твоего к Господу ухода не покину я обители твоей, все нужное подавая в изобилии, и снабжая всем, и защищая».
Something like: "Do not be afraid, my chosen one! I came to visit you. Thy prayer is heard about your students. There will be here in abundance".
