Origins of the BOC symbol

[Marc Power]

Now, on to the BOC symbol, which BOC maintained was the ancient symbol
for Kronos.

I have never before seen this symbol, except in relation to BOC,
does anyone have a pre-BOC reference?

Saturn is the Roman name for Kronos, the Greek God of time, armed
with a Scythe or Sickle and an Hour-Glass (Old father Time).

This is the planetary symbol for Saturn:

There is some similarity here, even so far as orientation.

Does anyone have more data, or more ideas on this?
