There is a first time for everything and this is one of them!
My interested has arisen from curiosity about my Estonian grandfather and searching your site has opened my eyes.
I understand he was an engraver. I was interested in the engraved Russian cigarette cases with signatures and little icons - mushrooms, ladybirds and elephants. Was this typical of a certain period? What did they mean? Elephants seem to reoccur several times...curious for such a cold country!
Thank you in anticipation
ps have more but need to understand how to add the photos...another night

Without clear closeup photos of the details and the overall objects it is not possible to say very much with any confidence. Please read the yellow box above - it has a link to take you to detailed, step by step instructions on adding photos.

Also, could you please add a bit to your introduction about whether you are planning to sell these things or if you are only wanting to know more about them?

Thanks,

Kimo,
