Identification summary

The Christensen Agate Turkey Head is one of the most iconic and sought-after machine-made swirls in the marble collecting world. Produced during a brief window in the late 1920s and early 1930s, these marbles are prized for their vibrant 'electric' colors and the specific mechanical fold that creates the signature loop.
