The Index lists a number of early Bible Student booklets. It is far from complete, but among those listed is George W. Hessler's The Sounding of the Seventh Trumpet, 1888, It is exceptionally rare, and few have seen it. The copy below, from my personal research collection, was dis-bound from a collection of booklets owned by William Wright, a Watch Tower Society director.
Rarer still is a paper bound book by Jesse Harper of Danville, Illinois, entitled The Millennium Age. The Restoration. The Race Restored. The Earth Restored, 1892. There are perhaps ten copies in institutional libraries. Harper came in contact with Watch Tower belief by reading The Plan of the Ages. His book is a summary of his notes taken from Millennial Dawn series and Zion's Watch Tower. Shown below is my copy.

The biography mentions his booklet THE MILLENIUM AGE so we can be sure this is the right person.
For George W Hessler the link below MAY be him, but without a location or publishing details of his booklets one cannot be sure,

Hessler is discussed in Separate Identity v. 2
Without an Index would be difficult to find.
