That appears to be a Price Pfister tub/shower valve.
Note 1- there are wayyyy more manufacturers/brands than just P.P. and Gerber. And each manufacturer has many (many many) different styles/models/types.
Note 2- it is not just the "stem" that the manufacturer/brand (and style/model/type) applies to; the whole valve assembly is manufacturer/brand-specific.
Note 3- while stems and trim are generally manufacturer/brand-specific and not interchangeable, this particular brand and model is pretty common (at least in the U.S.) and replacement parts are widely available from both the original maker (P.P.) and from others.
Note 4- I highly recommend that you remove the stems and bring them with you when you go to the plumbing shop to get the parts you need.
Answer from Jimmy Fix-it on Stack ExchangeHi all! New here so sorry if I’m using the wrong terms, etc. Please correct me.
Photos: Left is the shower stem. Right is one of the hot / cold stems.
Working on stopping a drippy bath / shower spout. I pulled the stems to find replacements at Lowe’s / Home Depot, but no luck. The old ones seem a little fatter and with threading in different spots. I’m pretty certain it’s the stems because tightening the old ones does seem to effect the flow of the drip (although doesn’t stop it outright). The make of the tub is Central. Not certain of the year (over 25 years old).
What’s the best way of finding matches for these stems? Or am I overthinking it? Can I just use newer stems with different knobs, etc?
Happy to just be pointed in the right direction. Thanks!

I've seen a list floating around here of a PDF or image of an exhaustive faucet/shower cartridge and stem ID list. Does anyone have a copy/link? Thanks in advance
I need help identifying some parts. While I can rebuild the hot and cold side, I need to replace the diverter. There are no brand markings on these parts, and there is no access to the rear of the faucet.
The hot and cold side have threaded broach ends, something I've very rarely seen. The diverter broach is splined, but it was heavily corroded, and the splined end snapped off in the handle, getting an accurate spline count isn't possible.
I've sifted through photos and catalogs, I'm at a loss. I'd rather not replace the faucet, as this will involve removing the wall, or yanking out/cutting kitchen cabinets...
