Hawkseye quartz, looks like. It's the dark brother to tigerseye.
No idea; here it would at least double up if there's any justice.
I have something similar here, no rhinestones, marked Western Germany. My guess would be early to mid 1950s - Truman era to first term Eisenhower...

OTOH - Treasure Hunt! There could be gold in them that hills, or at least cocktail napkins in them there boxes.
Keeps it from selling in the meantime. (LOL)
Take pictures. Lots of pictures. I wouldn't know what to do with ephemera if it dropped on me (other than ship it to @Bookahtoo !) but you can...
