I just recently picked up this pin and I am looking for a possible date of issue, has the marking on the back of the pin "Wright and Street, Chicago".

Can't really give you a date, but based on what I see, I don't think you can say with 100 percent certainty that it's a Cleveland Indians pin. Many high schools, colleges and minor-league teams have used Indians as mascots over the decades.
If it is a Cleveland Indians pin, some collectors erroneously would automatically date it to pre-Chief Wahoo days (late 1940s). But even after the Indians created the Chief, the Indian with a head dress still was used into the 1950s on many Indians collectibles. |
Picked it up in Cleveland, Ohio so I am assuming it is Cleveland Indians related. Also, it was included with other Cleveland items dating from the 30's and 40's. The pin also has a C on the lower right section, not sure if it's noticeable in the scan.

I believe your pin is considerable older than the 1930s. It looks like a stickpin that the Braves issued for the 1914 World Series.

I was going to say early Boston Braves too. I agree with the similarity to the Braves pin

Here's the 1914 Braves Pin for reference... there are some subtle differences (Hair, Feathers, etc.)
What does the lettering say on the back of yours? |
"Wright - Street, Chicago"
