I have searched and searched and I am still unable to find this stem from my bath tub fixture. There is a stamping on the stem just above where the splines are and with a magnifying glass it looks to me like it reads, " 8 WOLVERINE " .
I showed it to a plumber who came out to replace my hot water heater and he said that he had never seen one before. He looked at it and said that the thin brass part that looks like an ear where the washer sits, looks as if it probably had 2 "ears" one on each side which holds the washer from sliding to the side. As far as I know it has been working fine for years with only the one brass ear on it. I had it all apart about 6 months ago or so, and the brass ear was the same as it is now. I'm going to put a new washer on it, but if possible I would like to find replacement stems for the bath tub. There is no name on the fixture whatever. There is no name anywhere on the fixture.
Does anyone have any idea what manufacturer made this stem? I've seen a few that look similar but nothing that matches it. The fixture on the bath tub probably was made in the 1950's.
Here are a few pictures of this stem. Any help will be appreciated. Thank you..
