Museum Archive: Vintage Norman DD 14, 1/2oz fishing lure #14523

A weight of 1/2 oz (14 g) provides the necessary mass for reaching target zones with this Norman DD 14, cataloged under product code 14523. The lure features a high-visibility chrome finish paired with a teal blue back and a single black spot on the flank. Engineered to dive between 12 ft and 14 ft (3.6 m - 4.2 m), the clear, wide diving lip is a hallmark of this deep-running series. The 2 3/4" (7 cm) body remains in 5/5 condition, showing a bright reflective surface and well-preserved hardware. Dual treble hooks are attached via standard split rings, and the internal rattle chamber is designed for both casting and trolling applications. Originating from the USA, the lure's construction focuses on a streamlined shape that tapers toward the tail hook.
