''Tabo'' è il secondo dei due marchi usati dalla [[Stiassi e Tantini]] per la produzione di penne stilografiche, registrato nel 1940, data che si considera l'inizio della produzione di questa marca. Non sono note date esatte di inizio della produzione né le ragioni del cambiamento del marchio.  

''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}}

The [[Tabo]] brand fountain pens production is rather late and goes back to the late '30s. The activities of ''[[Stiassi e Tantini]]'' results to be closed in [[1939]], but the two members founded the previous year a new company named ''"S.I.S.A."'', acromym of ''Società Italiana Stilografiche e Affini'' (meaning ''Italian Company Fountain Pens and Related''), that was remaned in [[1940]] (?) as ''"F.I.S.A."'', acronym of ''Fabbrica Italiana Stilografiche e Affini'' (meaning ''Italian Factory Fountain Pens and Related'') who was the company giving birth to the production of [[Tabo]] branded pens, another acronym used as an abbreviation for the term  ''Tantini - Bologna''. In later years the  company name was changed again in ''Stiassi e Tantini S. A.'', wording that appears in the first [[Tabo]] pen advertising dating from the early '40s.

The [[Tabo]] series of late 30's were produced in different versions depending on the filling systems as there were [[button filler]] models, called [[Tabo Mentis|Mentis]], and depression filler models, similar to the [[Vacumatic]], called [[Tabo Trasparente|Trasparente]], as well as models with the more ordinary [[lever filler]] with a faceted body, similar to the [[Omas Extra]], identified by the number ''1931''. Finally there were also [[safety]] [[Tabo Rientrante|models]], made in hard rubber or with metal [[overlay]], very similar to those found in the [[Montegrappa]] production, named with a four digits code number.
