I am still not having any luck with a good fix for this. I can't find much infromation about Crane plumbing stuff (except toilets) on the internet. I did make a bigger spacer that puts the handle a bit farther from the wall cover plate and allows it to be tightened a bit more which does stop...

Thanks everyone. Now that we know it is a crane from the 60s any thoughts on fixing the drip? I have been scanning aroung the internet for parts and diagrams but can't find much for crane and nothing that seems to match what I have. Is there a good resource somewhere or does anyone on the...
