I have some valves that were in the wall since around 1990. A couple of them failed and now I need to replace the stem. The rubber and screw are gone. I need new stems. I am unable to find them.

Anybody can tell what kind of valves these are?
The stem is 4 inches long.20190518_215527x.jpg 20190518_215501x.jpg
 
It looks completely rebuildable to me.

That said, I took the stems from my shower to my local Ace hardware, and they matched them. The screw had snapped off, so I wasn’t sure I could back it out. And, I wanted to get the water back on.

While I was there I picked up all the parts to rebuild the ones I had. They are now rebuilt and waiting for another problems to crop up.

I’d suggest you get a seat wrench, and pull the seats so you can match and replace them at the same time.
