Help Identify this Auburn Brass set please :)

[TimothyDIY]

This house was remodeled around 1995 so I think this came from that time frame. The color looks like french gold to me.

Can anyone help identify this set or collection?

Maximum appreciation!

It would be easier to identify if you remove the faucet stem. Lay the stem next to a ruler. Take an in focus photo of the faucet stem lying next to the ruler and a clear photo of each end would be very helpful.

Here are 2 more pictures that show the cartridge for the bathtub faucet. Any help identifying this would be really awesome.

Do you know the spline count on the broach? I can't get an accurate count from your photo.

 

[TimothyDIY]

I counted 16.

Thanks

I've used this to help identify many stems and valves:

I'll get the spline separated as soon as possible. Are there any old catalogs I can look through that would have all of kohler's models since the beginnng of time? All I have to go on right now is that the house was remodeled in the mid 90's. So being able to see catalogs from that time would be really great.

Thanks

I do recognize the stem, but I'll leave that for you to discover. Put some effort into the resources you are given.

Maybe Auburn Brass? That type of stem is cut to length and yours looks like it was cut. The original length may have been longer.

Awesome. I'm looking at those from auburn brass and that could definitely be it! I'm going to email them. Thanks!

I've emailed one of the auburn brass dealers and they were able to identify it. I've ordered the parts and crossing my fingers that it is the right one. Here is the link in case it can assist anyone else with this!

I saw exactly that right away as "Ceramic Auburn Brass 16 pt.", it's right there on page 166 on that pdf file I posted. Kissler makes a pretty good bible with their color photos of parts.

But he didn't even bother to look at it.

I guess it's always easier to get answers spoonfed.

I've ordered what was needed and I'll report back to let you know how it went. In the rare event someone else has this, it could save them some time and frustration!

Smooky, thanks a ton for your help.
