Thank you gentlemen. Very good advise. I will sip one with you.

I've spent hours doing just that. Found some that came close, but no exact match.. . maybe contact Central Brass directly? Don't know if they would talk to such a novice like me.

I took it to a reputable local hardware store who supposedly has everything & knows everything plumbing. He said he's had many people come in with the same part, but was never able to figure out what...

Man, I wish you were right, but I took a second look and it is indeed one solid piece - no doubt.

You can't see it in the pic I posted, but this thing is casted. There are "seems" on the stem...

Yes, that's the section of the stem that's messed up, but it's not replaceable. It's part of the stem.

Can someone possibly identify the make of my stem valve.. . most likely the original in a house built in 1960.

My cold water valve leaks through the shower head.

The brass is broken & cracked...
