Design: Pan, the horned, shaggy-legged satyr used as a logo is taken Greek mythology. Half man, half goat, the shy, wild creature is often portrayed leaning against a tree, playing his flute or Pan pipes. The panel surrounding the Bell name, consisting of a stepped plinth with fluted columns supporting acanthus leaf scrolls, continues the Greek symbolism.
History: This revised design first appeared in 1923, when a new supplier took over the manufacturing.
