Hi all. I've got a leaky faucet on an older house and am trying to figure out how to disassemble it and who made it.

House was built in 1947-48, and I would guess it's original to that time.

I'm somewhat familiar with the way the washer and seat style faucets, but want to have parts on hand if possible before I tear into this.

Flat cap covers a phillips head screw. Pull the screw out and the plastic part comes off, but under that is a metal cap. I'm guessing it just pulls off but don't want to tear things up if possible taking it apart.

Got the cap off with a puller. Now I've got a valve assumbly with flats on two sides only, and the collar will keep me from getting a big adjustable wrench on the flats. Since there are only flats on two sides me deep sockets won't work.

Is there a specialty deep socket for these?

Well to answer my own question, it's a Crane.
