Looks to me like American Standard.

I believe the escutions do unscrew, thin wire or dental floss might be
best to cut the caulk. Heat from a heat gun might also help. On
some of these the H & C buttons actually are threaded in, the threaded
buttons usually have a knurl. Hard to see in your photo.

Some of these have fixed seats rather than replaceable ones and if the
seat is bad you need to resurface the seat with a little cutter.


Sounds nasty. Thank goodness for POS Price Pfister.

Once
you have the stem out look in the hole. Removable seats will have a
square or hex hole for the seat wrench.

Good luck.
