I found this old da Vinci print at the thrift store today it’s Madonna and child with saint anne and John the Baptist
The framing company seems to no longer exist but was in the upper west side New York, I’m looking for help determining a year and potential value, it is not in perfect condition it has knicks and dings but still looks really cool to me,
Thanks for your help

New York City was among the first to adopt the '2L-5N' (two letters --five numbers) telephone exchange system-- in 1930.
That will be the earliest date for 'The Art Lover' sticker.

Actually, the earliest date would be 1943, as that is when the postal zone designations were implemented, in this case, New York 24, New York. The latest it could be is 1962 because in 1963 they started using the zip codes instead.

The date mentioned by Mud Hut 1943 is the earliest date for that sticker because of the 2 digit "pre-zip code" number that was first use in that year.

The "2L-5N' telephone exchange system began in NYC in 1930 but as MUD HUT pointed out, the postal zone designation used in the OP's object was not implemented until 1943; the earliest date for the OP's offering.
