Hi Andy,

State revenues are listed in the new State Revenue catalog
published by the State Revenue Society the end of 2007. The $2 purple
and shades were issued between 1916 about 1943 and in use until the
1960s and I think still available from the state tax office.

There is an older catalog by by E. Hubbard published in 1960.

The punched L Bros over 11 01 2 might either be Lansburgh
Brothers, NYC or Low Brothers, NYC depending on the way it was
punched. If the "ros" part is in small capital letters it is probable
Low Brothers. This is from the new Perfins Club handbook on Perforated
or Punched Initials, Numbers and/or Designs in U.S. Revenues and
Fiscal Documents, published the end of 2007.

Is it of any value other than being cool to look at ?

Hi Andy,
Based on how many shares of stock were sold on Wall Street,
Most NY stock transfer stamps from 1905 on only have minimum value. I
have tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands that I have been
searching for material for a book I did on perforated initials and
numbers on US revenue stamps.
