''Tabo'' is the second trademark used by [[Stiassi e Tantini]] for fountain pen production. It was registered in 1940, so we consider this year the start of production for this brand. There no known evidences for a different production start date, nor the reason for changing trademark from [[The Scotland]].

The ''Tabo'' branded pens, as for the previous ''[[The Scotland]]''  ones produced by the same company are high-quality and some model are made by very nice semi-transparent celluoid. ''Tabo'' pens seems to have a good success, because they are less rare than ''[[The Scotland]]'' but still are highly sought by collectors.{{Infobox_Brand|Tabo}}{{BrandData|Founder=Giuseppe Tantini, Giorgio Stiassi|Place=Bologna|Country=IT}}
