Museum Archive: Vintage Norman Big N, 1/2oz silver fishing lure #21620

Weighing in at 1/2oz (14g), the silver-bodied Norman Big N remains a quintessential example of high-buoyancy American tackle. This vintage specimen, identified by product code 21620, measures 2 3/4" (7cm) and features a reflective chrome finish that transitions into a dark gradient spine and a pinkish-red belly stripe. Designed as a noisy floating lure, it is effective for both casting and trolling at depths between 2ft (0.6 m) and 5ft (1.6 m). The original "NORMAN" stamp is visible on the side of the body, indicating its authentic lineage. With a condition rating of 5/5, the lure retains its factory-fresh appearance across the finish and original hardware. Each of the two treble hooks is secured by sturdy split rings to the round-bodied chassis.
