I asked Matteo for more photos, and he sent them all concatenated in one long jpeg. I didn't like looking at them that way so I cut them up, and put them up on the web in case anyone else wants to look at them that way.

Go to http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Campy/ and click the links for 58crank0.jpg through 58crank6.jpg, or just go to http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Campy/58crank0.jpg to view the first one, and then edit the number in the filename to go to the rest.

A while back I asked the list what year my cranks are. They have the raised platform where the pedal attaches, but no plugs in back that make the pedal hole "blind". A couple of people responded that I have the '58, but I'm pretty sure now that's not right. Notice on Matteo's, how that web between the spider and the right crank, famous for cracking if you don't file it, is much different than on newer cranks - it's more like how Stronglights are shaped there. (Hard to describe in words - It shows best in 58crank0.jpg and 58crank4.jpg) Well, my cranks have the more modern style web there.

Here's a pic of the pedal end: http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Campy/old_crank_pedal_end.jpg

And here's one of the spider: http://bulgier.net/pics/bike/Campy/old_crank_spider.jpg

Everywhere but the pedal hole, it looks pretty much like any 151mm bolt pattern Record crank. It's a Pista, in case that matters. So, not '58, but '59-'60 maybe? Any guesses?
