Can anyone tell me the manufacturer of this faucet? It needs some work, and I
cannot get it apart. (The left handle will not come off of the valve.)

Take the screw out and pour a bunch of vinegar down the "hole". Let it
sit while you rent/borrow/steal (or if you have to, buy) one of these:

You can get them at ACE, Home Depot, Sears, etc.
Agree with DerbyDad -- *you need the proper tool to take apart the
faucet as it is obviously gunked/corroded together...
The tool he linked you to will help you deal with your issue...

I was thinking the right tool would be more than I would be willing to
spend. But this one is not bad.
It might also be possible to use a piece of wood as a rest and a
couple larger screwdrivers as pry bars.
The vinigar is a good idea too. If it's stuck it's probably calcium.
Some diluted muriatic acid might work as well but you would have to be
careful to keep it off the finish unless it is sealed.
