The bathtub hot water faucet is a lovely antique, but the washers are so huge none seem to be available in local hardware stores. A slow leak can be like Chinese water torture, and leaves stains. The hardware stores do sell neoprene by the six inch square sheet, however. With a hole saw, it's possible to cut just about any size circle and have a centered hole as well. It's better to do on a drill press than a hand drill. The newly fashioned washer did the trick.
