I have no idea about value.

Crane is a currency printer company with a US office in Dalton Massachusetts, and also an International branch in Sweden.

These are not in any way circulating or legal US currency.  They seem to be sample notes, perhaps distributed as an example of the company's abilities and products.

This company is, interestingly enough, the company that has made the paper the US prints it's currency on since 1879.  Lots of interesting facts, but I can find nothing on the notes pictured above.
