| Signature Series 8550C, RH, Tarpon Spool, New in Box + Papers SOLD |  |
4495 USD | The tarpon spool was produced for tarpon fisherman, though its mid-arbor size means it has broad applications beyond its intended purpose. |

7795 USD | This offering is yet another from a collection of Charlton Reels that have never been lined or used, and kept in their original packaging. |
| 8500 .8, RH, New with Jack Charlton’s signature |  |
5995 USD | The Signature Series reels, the flagship models of Charlton Outdoor Technologies, Inc., offered the option for the owner to engrave their own signature on the drag knob.

| 8500 1.2, LH, Blemish SOLD |  |
2895 USD | This reel is mint, save for a small blemish on the outside of the frame. This has been photographed, and while not deep it is through the anodizing. Other than this mark the reel has never been used, and is otherwise mint. |

2995 USD | This 8500 .8, perhaps the most popular of the original Signature Series lineup, is in mint condition. Its handle has been oiled, and remains in perfect condition per Jack’s original instructions. |

| Signature Series 8550C with Tarpon Spool SOLD |  |
3495 USD SOLD | This is a pristine 8550C with the tarpon spool, RH wind. It has been filled with backing (removed by us for this sale) and appears never to have been mounted on a rod. Its condition is a minimal click below what it would be if it had sat in its case and box since its construction. |
| Signature Series 8400 1.6, Matte Finish, Two Handles, No Logo |  |
6995 USD | There are very few reels that come across our desk that we haven’t seen before. One of these is this beautiful 8400 1.6 in a rare satin-matte finish. Made without the Charlton crest that adorned all reels except those that bore the signature of the buyer, the effect is elegant and understated on such a rare size and finish. |
| Elite Series 8500 1.2 |  |
ON REQUEST | The Elite series reels were produced concurrently, though briefly, with the Thinn-line Elite Series reels. The predecessor the Signature Series, their run was brief and featured a beautiful matte finish as standard. |
| Signature Series 8500 .8 SOLD |  |
2,100 USD SOLD (RECENTLY REDUCED FROM $2,400) | This reel comes from a private collection, and has been barely used. Once lined but not fished, the reel shows hardly any evidence of ever being on a boat or stream. There is some light rust spots in the Charlton crest on the spool release dial, though elsewhere it’s hard to find any mark at all. |
| Signature Series 8550C, Tarpon spool SOLD |  |
3200 USD SOLD | This is a great example of a reel that has been well cared for. The 8550C was one of the more popular of the Signature Series, and the tarpon spool was likely the most widely produced. |
