Museum Archive: Vintage ​Norman Thin N, 2/5oz fishing lure #15944

Heavy gold and green glitter covers the 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body of this Norman Thin N, capturing a vibrant, reflective quality characteristic of classic American craftsmanship. This 2/5 oz (11 g) floating lure is built for both casting and trolling, reaching depths from 3 ft (0.9 m) to 8.5 ft (2.6 m). It carries a red treble hook on the belly and a black one at the tail, while the internal rattle adds a noisy element to its profile. Large red eyes sit at the front of the glittered body, which remains in 5/5 condition. Cataloged under product code 15944, the specimen shows the clear diving lip and build quality expected from Norman’s USA-based production.
