I have an old faucet that drips. I would like to fix the leak, but am having a lot of trouble finding a replacement cartridge.
The faucet does not have any markings of any kind. I brought the cartridge in to several hardware stores and dedicated plumbing supply stores, but nobody could identify it. I have also searched online plumbing supply stores, but again no luck.
Normally I would take this as a hint and replace the faucet. But I plan to upgrade the whole bathroom in the near term, so a new faucet seems especially wasteful (it would likely be scrapped again during a renovation).
The broach outside diameter is 7/16" and it has 34 teeth.
Is there a better approach to sourcing a replacement part for this faucet?

That looks like an American Standard brand of faucet. Probably same stem as a Hampton (pic below) or Williamsburg style faucet. The part number for that cartidge might be 994053-0070A pictured below. The cheaper version would be Danco 10472 4Z-24H/C Stem for American Standard Faucet. You should try to call American Standard (800 442 1902), and you should try to send them your pictures (above). And read the fine print on the warranty from American Standard.
