Does anyone know what brand breaker replaces a Gould breaker???
SIemans took over the company
I believe Siemens took over what was Gould and Gould-ITE, so check the Siemens breakers.
GE or Siemens cutler hammer universal CL series
only if listed in the panel board
I
Siemens type P, ITE as well
If the breaker will snap on the bus bar, yes.

Some Siemens may work but remember you are responsible for any fire or lives lost that may occur from using the wrong breaker. Get Gould breakers and you will then know they are safe. Can't find Gould breakers then replace the entire service panel. That is what I would do.
The key to breaker compatibility is if it fits correctly into the buss bars in the electric panel.

In many fields companies are bought and sold on a regular basis. So it is with many circuit breaker companies Siemens is the current name; previously it was ITE-GOULD; previous to that it was just ITE Some breaker models will carry through and be of the same design and fit no matter which brand label is on it. In most of those cases the model # does not change. Some breaker get obsoleted after the mergers. Sometimes new models are added.
the breaker makes sure that nothing in the circuit is damaged by an increased amount of amperage or voltage
