Museum Archive: Vintage Norman Big N, 1/2oz green tiger fishing lure #21528

A hefty 1/2oz (14g) weight makes this Norman Big N a substantial presence in any vintage tackle collection. The green tiger pattern on this specific piece displays a deep olive back that fades into bright chartreuse sides, marked by traditional black vertical stripes and a warm orange belly. Identified by product code 21528, the body spans 2 3/4" (7cm) and houses an internal rattling mechanism to provide sound. Designed as a floating lure, it is intended to dive between 2 ft (0.6 m) and 5.2 ft (1.6 m), which suits it well for both casting and trolling applications. This American-made lure is in 4/5 condition, with the paint and hardware remaining in high-quality shape for its age. The clear diving lip is a signature characteristic of Norman's manufacturing style, built for durability while navigating its depth range.
