identify this shutoff valve?

Can someone tell me more about this valve? Even better, where I can buy a replacement (and use the insides)?

I have three radiators that use this type of valve, the problem is that there is a built-in bookcase that was built around all the radiators that I would have to take down and try to put back together again. There would be a lot of work.

I was hoping if I can buy these valves, I wouldn't have to do as much work.

Thanks!

What type of system is this?

I doubt you will find replacement bonnets if that’s your question.

It's a 2-pipe system, Weil McLain LGB-11

The valve body and stem in the picture look in fine shape. You should be able to find replacement parts for:
- bibb washer
- packing washer
- coupling washer

If you can't find washers you can cut it out of sheet gasket and use string packing...

The first pic looks like a steam trap. You can probably buy parts for that. Clean it with sand cloth on the outside you will probably find make and model.

@EBEBRATT-Ed I think the first pic is of the worn valve seat.

I have some very similar looking valves on a 1920's system that I just repacked successfully. They have a logo on them but I haven't been able to find out who made them.
