It all depends on the model, style, year, condition, etc. Value could range from $100 to who knows. Prewar models usually have the highest market price.

First, determine which model you have. Photos will be very helpful in determining what you have and its current condition.
The Vintage Guitar Price Guide will give you a general idea for an instrument in excellent condition.
Here's a Google Books excerpt.

Gruhn Guitars in Nashville offers a professional appraisal service. Although somewhat expensive, it is recognized by all major insurance companies.
