It appears to be a Thompson bottom bracket spindle. Thompson were very similar to the one piece Ashtabula crankset, but with cottered cranks. The bottom bracket used over-size, non-threaded cups and the cones threaded onto the spindle to keep everything in place. These bottom brackets are sometimes refered to as Thun. Shell width was typically 65 or 70mm and the cup diameter was 40mm.
