It may have some branding... on the bottom, so you'd have to remove the faucet and then it might not be there, either.
Other alternative is to remove the cartridges and take them down to the local hardware store and/or plumbing supply. Most have a fairly wide selection so you can try to match them. Then record the brand and replacement PN somewhere you can find it again.
I absolutely hate faucets and fixtures with no visible branding.

You have a better chance of someone at an Ace Hardware or other mom & pop store recognizing the cartridge.
Avoid Big Blue or Big Orange, you're likely to just get a blank stare.

If it is a Moen unit they have a lifetime guarantee on their cartridges. I ordered one about 2 weeks ago. Shipped free also. Dave R.

Look real carefully on the underside of the spout. I bet there is a number there. Like CJDave said if it is a Moen or Price Pfister they will send you a cartridge for free.

If you absolutely cannot id it then take a cartridge out and go to Home Depot. They have a book hanging in the plumbing dept with pictures and dimensions of the cartridges and you should be able to match it up.
Moen always has their name imprinted on it .
after that, probably something generic. good old fashioned hardware store should be able to help .

Ran it by our in house Bath Designer, who asks: on the top of the handles, are there exposed screws or press on caps?
Not Moen, Delta, Amer Standard, or Kohler.
It there is a removeable aerator, remove and look for ID.
Any guess at age?
Edit: to get it ID'd, go right to the pro's at Ferguson Supply House.

Does it actually have cartridges? It looks like a regular old fashioned faucet that just uses rubber washers.
I agree with the idea of pulling it apart and bringing the pieces to your local Ace hardware, they have a wide assortment of faucet parts.

Thanks guys. It turned out to be a Delta. I had nothing better to do and spent some time looking at cartridge pictures on Google and found a Delta that looked good. Home Depot is close so headed over there. They actually had a genuine Delta cartridge in stock. I bought some CLR and soaked what I could and got it back together.

I needed a cartridge for a delta faucet. I called their warranty line and they sent me one free of charge.
