Now we need to find some kind of documentation that shows what the complete set of pins should look like. I know we all have team pins that are unattributed to any particular manufacturer or set so it would be nice if we could find out which exact pins were part of the Cranes set.
This picture from your friend, could those also be Cranes pins or are they attributed to some other set?

Very possible, I will send the 3 photos he sent me unedited. He couldn't date them before I found the coupon so they are very likely mixed in with 1960s pins. I am not well versed on cranes pins so I can't tell which do or don't match current known years. I would say the right side with the similar size as the two we know are 50s definitely are the most likely.
Obviously there are some that are far newer as well.
