Moen (that is a Moen Chateau shower valve) makes a one and two inch stem extension kit for shower valves using a 1225 cartridge, they also make an adapter kit so you can use new trim with older valves; replace your cartridge while you are at it. When looking for new trim, search "Moentrol trim" on Google.

Previous shower area was around 30 years old. Fake marble walls, small wall niche, leaks in the corners and ugly plumbing.
Over the course of 3 weeks (had to go housesit elsewhere - we only have one bathroom), we gutted the old furnishings down to the studs, built a new niche, added backerboard, waterproofing membrane, new tiles, new fixtures, and had the tub re-furbished (by a pro).
If anyone's curious, here's some products we used.

We learned as we went with this (also made many mistakes that thankfully aren't too bad on completion). Upon gutting the shower - found a bit of mold growing on the old green board backing material. Was actually better than expected. We also didn't want to swap out the old 2 knob faucet for something newer (required more plumbing work than we wanted) so we ordered a 3 knob version and just used two of the knobs/stems. Works great.
And a ton of knowledge from this incredibly useful YouTube channel.

If anyone has any specific questions, please ask.
Well I found This One and Another One
Both of them are very similar, but I shall keep looking
Edit: it seems like you’re missing a plastic piece that goes over the screw in the middle of the handle, did you ever have that? If you did do you know what color was in the middle?

Found it on Amazon for $614. What a steal! /s
It might be a handle from an old sink/faucet. The one in this link obviously isn't the same, but the threaded bit is similar.

To take off the handle
To pull out the cartridge
In case anyone ever finds this thread, I figured it out. I was just stupid. I always interpreted the back labels to mean, spin the knob for different temperatures. You actually just spin the back circular piece. I figured that out when I found this: Amazon.com - Temperature Control.

This one is pretty close.
I imagine you could just get a pretty cheap pair at your local big box hardware store.
This might work.
It looks like a [moen] ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B000XHHYUO/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479632311&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=moen+chateau+lavatory+faucet&dpPl=1&dpID=417Pdjj%2BoBL&ref=plSrch) but not sure a out it. If you take the handle off (hex key in the front) and send pic I can tell for sure. Moen will give you a new [cartridge] ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0006290R6/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1479632591&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40&keywords=1225b&dpPl=1&dpID=31QEcM0Ab7L&ref=plSrc) for free if you bring the old one in.

I recently purchased this Moen handle to replace my current knob. I realized today that the new handle does not fit the cartilage due to the size difference. Do I have to replace the cartilage with a cartilage that is compatible with the Moen handle (Moen 1225 Cartilage) and if so will it be easy to do?
