I got these bottle-shaped stamps to make ink swatch cards. The shop didn't label them (likely for copyright/trademark reasons), so it's a bit of a guessing game for ones I don't recognize. Problem is I can't recall why I bought the sheet labeled "D" as I have none of those inks, but maybe I got it because they also work as good generic bottles?

I tried labeling the ones I recognize or found searching. Anyone know the "?" ones I couldn't definitively ID?

Four ink bottle outline stamps arranged in a two-by-two layout. The sheet is labeled "B". The top left is labeled "Dominant industry" and is a skinny bottle with a slightly wider rounded bottom. The top right is labeled "Pilot Iroshizuku" and is a wide rectangle. The bottom left is labeled "Diamine" and has a squared bottom and rounded top shoulders. The bottom right is labeled "Platinum" and has slightly wider angular sides on the bottom end.
Four ink bottle outline stamps arranged in a two-by-two layout. The sheet is labeled "E" The top left is labeled "Sailor 50ml? J Herbin?" and a square with sharp corners. The top right is labeled "Endless Alchemy" and shaped like a flask sitting at an angle with a bump out the bottom. The bottom left is labeled "Colorverse" and is a round bottle with a tail that looks like a shooting star. The bottom right is labeled "Kaweco 50ml? Sailor 20ml?" and is a rectangle slightly taller than wide with a lid the same width as the bottle.
Four ink bottle outline stamps arranged in a two-by-two layout. The sheet is labeled "D" The top left is labeled "Wearingeul?" and is a square-ish bottle with a ridged lid almost as wide as the bottle. The top right is labeled "Diamine Inkvent" and has weird points jutting out the bottom. The bottom left is labeled "Van Dieman's Professional?" and has facets. It has wider angled shoulders and tapers to a skinnier bottom. The bottom right is labeled "Visconti 30ml?" and a tall rectangular shape. The cap has ridges along the top 3/4 and smooth at the bottom. The cap appears to have a round protrusion coming out the top.
Numerous outline stamps on a sheet with a lot of different designs and phrases. Of interest are two bottles in the upper right. The top is round with a faceted top and is labeled "FWP?" The second bottle has a wide rectangle shape with wide shoulders and narrower bottom. It is labeled "Diplomat, Kaweco, Esterbrook, Octopus Fluids, Pelikan"

If it narrows things down, the Etsy shop that makes/sells these is in the UK, so there could be some UK/EU regional brands that don't get to the rest of the world as much.

I may have made some (ir?)rational ink purchases so some of these other stamps don't go unused. Wouldn't want them to feel left out.
