Hopefully someone can find some pictures with a similar banner in use, which could help document the fact that it is from the Polo Grounds. The scoreboard flag idea certainly has some merit judging by the size of it.
Value is a bit tougher, but as a "man cave" type of piece I think there would be a lot of interest in it if it could be positively identified as a scoreboard flag from the Polo Grounds circa 1957. I would have to think the value would be over $1,000. How much over I have no idea.
If it is what you believe it to be, it is a beautiful piece.
