This is the first time I've seen a company named "C. Crane" mentioned.
Do they market solar-powered or hand-powered radios?

Yep. They have a number of emergency radios.

And a lot of other products, too. See their main page

I never bought a radio from them. But I did buy two other items.

One is an LED flashlight I got 9 years ago which I use frequently. I'm
still on the original alkaline batteries.

Another was a miner's-cap headlamp. I could not stand the odor from
the straps which held it to my head. They took it back, and refunded
not only the original price plus shipping, but an extra $5 for my
trouble!

Are they an OEM, or are they rebrands of some other manufacturer?

I don't know.

I remember an ad for one of their radios saying something like: Made
by big German radio manufacturer to our specifications.
