Likewise a bottle of Cult Pens Deep Dark ink sez Diamine all over it, your highly mightiness. (I'd call it my reasoning, but honestly that's a bit of a posh term for the vague firing of brain cell that went on.)
There's a collector in Taiwan who pretty much does have them all. There's a video knocking about of their collection somewhere.
In the words of Paul Simon, you can call me Al.

thanks for the links.. this list is getting awesome!
When I started this list I wasn't trying to get all the "house brands" that were clearly made by one of the big 4 or 5, but given the depth of the list now I certainly don't have a problem adding them.
I'll get another update to the list posted soon. Thanks again everyone for sharing your amazing depth of knowledge. And I bet there is more!
Jon Szanto: did I give you permission to post that photo of my ink cabinet????

Just a quick correction, while Louis Vuitton is a French company, their ink is made in Austria and Waterman Ink is made in Switzerland

Apologies if you’ve already included any of the above.
There was also the Pharmacist inks, made in Belgium, I believe.
I don't think they are made anymore.In case if you're adding defunct inks
list updated, thanks!
The intent of the list was to only include ink that could be purchased now. I'm afraid if I got into historical inks as well it would truly become unruly. (like it isn't already, lol)
I understand.
However, I was wondering if you were to list all the boutique inks then that would be the sure path down the rabbit hole.....
There are Noodler's /Diamine/ Even Blackstone special store inks....
Do you want to add them too?
I was advised that Louis Vuitton no longer sells ink and what stock was left in boutiques was deleted and recalled.
Also Maruzen Athena and Nagasawa Kobe inks are made by Sailor but not marked as such on the list.
Edited: I forgot to add Bungubox is also by Sailor.
In actual fact it would be easier to list all of the Japanese inks and say which ones aren't made by Sailor

ummmmmm... it would be interesting to compile given this could be a place to come for anyone to find out who and where makes an ink you run across. But the thought of how long that list might be, and how difficult to keep up to date with defunct companies, is a little daunting. We could give it a try if someone knows the info....
