Museum Archive: Norman Deep Little N, 1/2oz fishing lure #19812

A deep-diving round bill characterizes this 1/2 oz (14 g) crankbait, which is engineered to target the 9-12 ft (2.7-3.6 m) depth range. This specimen of the Norman Deep Little N, identified by product code 19812, remains in its original vintage packaging and is unused. Measuring 2 3/4" (7 cm) in length, the lure features a black back over a vibrant orange body with distinct vertical black stripes and a classic yellow eye. The hardware includes two factory-original treble hooks and a clear, oversized diving lip designed for deflection during casting or trolling. The cardboard backing reflects the brand's historical "American Fishing Lure Value" marketing and confirms its origin as made in the USA. The packaging shows signs of its age, yet the lure itself is well-preserved, maintaining its high-quality finish and hardware integrity.
