If you can somehow pop the operator arm buttons out of the window track, you should be able to remove the glass. If it were a '51 or later, just removing the operator screws would allow it to pivot and let the window move, but with the double arm early window operator, that isn't going to work. Another option is to rip off the pinion shaft where the crank attaches, but I don't know if there's a big enough hole in the inner panel to get the pinion gear out. That would free up the sector gear.
What's lodged in the sector gear is probably a broken tooth from the pinion gear. If you're really lucky, you might be able to work it back and forth and get it out of the way.
[on edit] I see that early pinion gear repair kits are available, but not '51-55, which kind of tells me that it's a weak spot. The early regulators look complicated and fiddly.
Studying the picture I posted, maybe unbolting both the pivot arm AND the window crank part would free things up. I'm thinking you're going to have to remove and repair the regulator.
