Though not sure what model you have but a few Royce Union bicycles have come my way, over the years. They were all entry level and value would range between $75 to $150, depending on area and state of repair. Sorry, but this is the best picture I have of those old bikes...

Japanese 3 speeds tend to be worth less than the English ones, and women style worth even less. Since you don't list your location, I won't guess. But in my market, a womens Royce Union Japanese 3 speed would be worth about nothing. Maybe $25. When I get them, I donate them as its not worth the trouble to handle buyers.
Collectors are not attracted to Royce Union as it tended to show up at department stores.
