Museum Archive: Vintage Norman Deep Little N, 1/3oz Brown / Green / Orange fishing lure #0472

Weighing in at 1/3 oz (10 g), this Deep Little N features the classic Norman profile in a distinctive Brown, Green, and Orange color scheme with dark mottled markings. Its 2 1/4" (5.5 cm) body is paired with a large, clear round-angled diving lip designed to reach depths of 9-12 ft (2.7–3.6 m). Looking at the head, those iconic oversized orange-rimmed eyes are positioned to look downward over the bill. This specific specimen, identified by product code 0472, includes an internal rattle and is rigged with two sharp silver treble hooks. Made in the USA, the lure is designed for both casting and trolling, utilizing its precise lip angle to create a medium-width vibration that aids in deflecting off underwater cover. The condition is rated a solid 4/5, showing very light evidence of its history while maintaining a clear finish and strong hardware.
