Sorry for the confusion. In the split picture, the car parts on the right are a 1913 Oakland, (pic found on the internet), that I included for comparison. I do not have any of those parts, just the axle. Lost...

To AHa You are looking at everything we found, unfortunately. Lost...

I do not think it is the 1913, (or 1912) Oakland. See attached pics. The 1913 has 8 leaves in the springs, and mine has 6. The 1913 has the springs mounted below the axle, and mine are on top, and could never be installed below. The brake band on the 1913 also seems to be too wide to match the 1 1/4 inch width of mine. The pics on the referenced sites also seem to always show 8 lug nuts, and my axle has 6. There were also pics of the differential area for both the 1912 and 13 and they do not match mine. The 'lump' for the spider gears seems larger on mine than is in the pics. Thanks for all of the ideas, you people are great. Lost...

I made some measurements as requested. Track, from outside of one brake drum to the other, is 53.5 in., to the center line of the wheels makes it 56.5 total, plus or minus. The wheel is 24 in. diameter, and 2.75 in. width. Brakes; The diameter of the moving drum that gets squeezed is 12 3/8 in., and the width of the 'brake pad' band is 1 1/4 in. The 6 lug nuts on the remaining wheel are 1/2 small hex, and the other 3 are large hex. 2 of the large ones are 'domed', and show the original green paint. Let me know what other info you might need.

Here are 2 more pics. The cover at the front of the differential is clearly a home-made sheet metal piece, held on with stacked castle nuts. On top of one of the springs is stamped 'A-6210'. The wheel hub shows it was originally painted dark green. The two halves of the differential are held together with a mixture of square and hex bolts and nuts. Thanks for all of the ideas.

Here are 3 pics. Can get close-ups if you need.

I am trying to identify an old auto rear end I found in the woods. It consists of an intact rear axle assembly, with both hubs (drum brakes), "differential", and one partial wheel. The partial wheel had 12 wooden spokes. I put the word differential in quotes because it does not appear to be a true differential, it looks like just a pinion and ring gear. The assembly also has 2 leaf springs. There are no clear make or model marks. On the differential casing, there is stamped "J5112". I have pictures. Any help or clues would be appreciated. This is not very important, I am just curious.
