The press pin and the charm are identical, with the charm having a round "eye" at the top of the teepee so that the item can been used as a charm, and the press pin designed to be pinned on one's jacket or shirt. Both items display the traditional Indians logo. Both the pin and the charm read '1954 World Series PRESS Cleveland". Each item has a teepee and an Indians logo.
