All I will say is condition matters, size matters, etc., etc. It could be a $25.00 bike or much more. But anything without a photo is a guess.
Make sure to take several, at least one that captures the entire bike from the drive side, the side with the chain. And close-ups of components and frame details also helps. Does it have a serial number? On the bottom bracket? Or maybe elsewhere?
Good luck.

American Flyer was a marketing house brand for hardware and tire stores that sold a tone of bikes of all types and levels for nearly a 100 years made by several makers. So as said details and good pics will be needed to give any idea of value with no info the range is $20-2000.
