It is in two pieces, a tumbler and a holder.
The tumbler appears to be "hand blown".
The holder is brass plated filigree in an oriental design with painted areas and a solid handle in the shape of a naked lady made from a base metal plated with brass.
The above mentioned inscriptions appear around the bottom of the holder.
I would appreciate any information I can get on this piece. If there are surviving members of the "Rocker Club", I would love to hear from you about the history of your club.
