Museum Archive: Vintage Norman Big N, 1/2oz fishing lure #21618

Weighted at 1/2oz (14g), the body of this Norman Big N shows a classic green scale finish along the top that transitions into silver-white sides. This 2 3/4" (7cm) crankbait carries a condition rating of 3/5, evidenced by the distinct areas where the finish has lifted to reveal the white substrate underneath. A faded orange blush is still visible on the chin, positioned just behind the clear plastic lip. Designed to dive between 2ft and 5ft (0.6 - 1.6m), this floating model features an internal rattle to provide acoustic presence while casting or trolling. Identified by Product Code 21618, the lure comes equipped with its original, darkened treble hooks and circular split rings. This USA-manufactured specimen represents a workhorse era for Norman lures, showing the honest wear of a bait that has spent time in the strike zone.
