I'm thinking that is some kind of truck axle, it had parallel leaf springs, and the brake shoes look heavy duty, as do the rivets in the backing plate. Did you get any hubs and brake drums with it?
The axle looks 20 something or early 30's, maybe something of a mid to upper class car, not your average Ford or Chev stuff - the brakes and gizmos look more elaborate.

Thanks zz, but I'm lost on this one!
I have to agree with you and Bama... likely a LARGE luxury car or truck... are those mechanical brakes? Elephino! #snopro

AgreedI guess, because you posted this looking for info, that you had considered using it for some project. I would not. First of all, it is set up for parallel springs, not a traverse spring, and you would have to engineer some mounts to put a single spring on there. Secondly, you will never find parts for it, like kingpins, and what would you do for brakes ?
It really isn't worth your time and money to fool around with IMO.
