Museum Archive: Vintage ​Norman Thin N, 2/5oz Silver fishing lure #13860

Silver chrome finishes often reveal the most character on vintage crankbaits, and this specimen carries a striking reflective body topped with a solid black back. Measuring 2 1/4" (5.5 cm), the Norman Thin N (Product Code 13860) weighs in at 2/5 oz (11 g), making it a versatile choice for both casting and trolling applications. The long, clear diving lip is designed to reach depths between 3 ft (0.9 m) and 8.5 ft (2.6 m), targeting fish holding along transition zones. Distinct yellow-rimmed eyes provide a classic focal point against the dark upper profile. As a floating, rattling model, the internal noise chamber adds a secondary sensory element to its physical presence. The hardware includes two treble hooks attached via split rings, maintaining the original integrity of this USA-manufactured piece. Rated at a condition of 5/5, the lure presents an exceptionally well-maintained exterior with clear, bright colors.
