This recently fell into my hands (free). I know it's certainly not from this decade. Anybody have an idea how old it might be?

(It was unopened and shows no visual fog processed in Dektol 1+2. An interesting surface finish too.)

Sometime between 1964 (founding of Agfa-Gevaert) and the late 70's (change of lettertype in icon).
 
I used to use Portriga from the mid 80s onwards till they stopped making it and this looks earlier unless the design was different for the home market. I'm sure Martin Read from Silverprint will have a far better idea. 250 sheets of that stuff is rather a nice windfall if it's still OK. Curious it says 'Made in Germany' and not 'West Germany.'
 
Dear Dave;
It's from 1964. I have the exact same package I bought from Pardee's Camera in Sacramento in 1964.
