Is that frame section anywhere near Hill Rd. in Hilton NY?

Hi 60FlatTop, Your location is about 60+ miles from Marilla, NY.  Over an hours drive .

Hi Dalef62 and all who replied.  I never heard of a Crosley until posting my question.  Anyway, I'm in the western New York area.  It was out of curiosity that I made my inquiry.  I could have sold it for scrap, but I have an appreciation for things mechanical, particularly older ones.  They are easier to diagnose, work on and fix.

Hi,  I have an old vehicle frame, with the rear suspension, axle and drive shaft intact.  The springs are of a half-leaf, inverted design. The are attached to the rear axle housing with shackles.  The rear axle/differential was patented in 1935 - the patent was awarded to Padgett-Lewis.  I'm wondering what type of vehicle this was and if there is any interest in some or all of the parts.  A Christmas Tree binder was welded to the rear of the frame.  I am attaching some photos for more clarity.  Thanks.
