Museum Archive: Vintage Norman Minnow Floater, 3/16oz Chartreuse fishing lure #8887

A distinctive Chartreuse hue defines the sides of this American-made minnow, transitioning to a dark, cross-hatched pattern on its back. Tipping the scales at 3/16 oz (5 g), the Norman Minnow Floater (Product Code 8887) is a lightweight contender for depths between 3 ft (0.9 m) and 6 ft (1.8 m). I'd rate the condition a 4/5; the body maintains its vibrant color and the hardware remains solid, showing only minor evidence of its time in a tackle box. The 3 1/2" (9 cm) plastic profile is equipped with a clear, angled diving lip and two original treble hooks.
