Interesting. Thank you.
What period would it be from and when were these artists born/how long they lived or are they still alive?

I found this site, and I wrote an email the dude who made the site (name is on the very bottom on the page)
http://www.holzwerken.de/museum/hersteller/goehler.phtml
Im little bit disheartened now, I dont see a single disc model. But I really dont see a room or place for that second wheel on my tool.

i have to say this : when you look at mine, it does not seem that there should be second wheel. Well, anyway, I dont see where that second one would be placed. on that place just below the one we see... if there ever was another wheel on there, it would have been very different from the "upper" one.. because i can see how "existing one" looks like inside, and where that locking mechanism goes... and there is no way that locking mechanism would lock more than one wheel.
which makes me excited again, because, based on this and its small serial number, this could be very very old.. before they thought of making another wheel, or before they thought of they way how to combine 2 of them.

1 more thing - i found this, and i saw 5 number serial, and mine has 4 number, as i mentioned above. could this mean this is way, way older?
you can see in this link that serial is much easyer to see, and it almost seeme like much metter machine stamped it. on my tool for marking trees, serial is pretty bad. numbers dont look so modern, shape of them is not so consistent and detailed.

I found this peace. it has cracked handle, but nothing that someone could not glue back together, i assume
it says wilhelm gohlers and something else on it.
on the metal part of the handle, that holds the disc in one place hen pressed, it says, i think - 4814.
its rusry and i was wondering what could i do to take the rust off.
please tell me more about all of this

thank you for the kind welcome in you club 
i have one more item.. its the old iron thing that has numbers from 0 to 9 on the disc, and people used to smash that into tree with whatever number they needed so they could mark it.
