Attached one page from Boccia & Coelho (1975) with groupings of these 'cogwheel' marks and some of the dentated devices (as with sickle marks) often accompanying them. These seem to be early 17th c.

The image with the man in the moon is from early 17th c. German blade and it is enclosed in the roundel, while commonly open in cosmological groupings.
