I would imagine if this was a Polo Grounds-used megaphone and if it did have markings it would have that nice "NY" on it or "GIANTS" in a fancy typeface, not something that looks like a stencil for a footlocker. I think the Giants had more pride than to field something that crude.
Plus, is it missing a period after the "N"?

You might be right about the quality of the graphics, but the Giants might have put their name on the megaphone to keep the Yankees from using it when the two clubs shared a ballpark.
