Name this stem

This stem popped up in an older thread, and I'm not having any luck tracking down it's make/model. Anyone recognize it? I'm a newbie and can't post images yet so I've included the picture here:

Thanks.

That's an old QBP (Salsa/Surly/MSW/Dimension) stem, I don't think it's made anymore. Plenty of options for quill stems out there though, are you looking specifically for one with an open faceplate?

Thanks. Yeah I like the open faceplate, but also the finish and how the weld isn't too bulky. I'm hoping if I can figure out what it is I may have some luck on ebay.

Salsa SUL stem. It came in threaded and threadless. It was recalled...or at least some were.

A current alternative is this - https://velo-orange.blogspot.com/201...tems-have.html

One alternative that I think looks nice is the Factory Five Titan stem. Very clean looking and nice finish in both polished and black depending on what you're looking for.

Welds are small because it's steel.
