Black quill stems in 26.0:
Nitto Dynamic
Nitto Pearl (hard to find in black)
Kalloy / Zenith (as far as I can tell it's the unbranded version of Gran Compe / BLB / Acor, etc)
Simworks (I think the 'tomato' one is 26.0)Then vintage stuff (try Hilary Stone, ebay):
Cinelli XA, 1A, frog, etc (or any of their 26.4 stems with a shim)
3ttt and ITM did black stems too but I don't remember the names.26.0 compact drops:
https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/214488/My vote would be for Deda Piega as they're the lightest and the cheapest... but the finish on the Nitto's is much better.

got a new project on the go - will be a modern groupset on a classic frame build. talk to me about black 1" quill stems. what should I go for? nitto dynamic looks good. also black 26.0 bars with a shallow drop that come in 380/400: nitto m106, soma highway 1, or a.n. other?
