Yes indeed! With the coupon they are now confirmed to have issued a 50s set. I'm thinking 1953 or 1954 are a good guess as Red had one of his best years ever in '53 and he's headlining the coupon (then again there could've been 20 different players on the coupons).
Might try looking through some newspaper archives later.
