A crank noseband differs from a normal noseband because it is not just one one piece of leather making up the noseband. It has a front piece that is joined at the back by a separate strap. If I remember correctly, it is supposed to be to apply even pressure all around the horse's nose. It is for better control. It is wider and more heavily padded. Used in dressage more than just on a regular basis.
Edited to say I agree with Burger
There is probably a picture out there if you google. I would find you one, but I don't know how to post pictures.

See, I just KNEW someone would know! Thank you! So I guess what I have always used IS a crank noseband, and I just didn't know it was one. So does a non-crank noseband just have one buckle? (How else would you get it on?) OK -- crank it is!! (I think btw, that the person on ebay selling it is a fellow countrywoman of yours! I think I overfraternize with you people.... Homeland Security will be after me any day now.)
