TIMOTHY J. GOULD AUCTION CO.

AUCTION - THURSDAY  JULY 25, 2002 - GARDINER, MAINE SPORTSMAN’S CLUB

1 MILE OFF EXIT 28, INTERSTATE 95 (GARDINER – LITCHFIELD EXIT).  STARTING AT 4 PM - PREVIEW 9 AM UNTIL START OF SALE   

FEATURING: Extremely RARE (1 of 4 known examples) and IMPORTANT Signed WOODEN SURVEYOR'S COMPASS by George Leighton Whitehouse (b.1797) of Farmington, New Hampshire. WHITEHOUSE laid out the early Railroad Lines in New England and is described in a full chapter of Smithsonian Curator Emeritus Silvio Bedini's book "WITH COMPASS and CHAIN" (see pages 700-703). We feel this is likely the FIRST of the Whitehouse compasses as the dial is hand painted and stenciled with the G. L. Whitehouse name. In later examples Whitehouse went to the paper "compass card" for his dials. Please email for additional photos and information.
