Welcome to the Piano World Forums!
If it's an older upright, it probably says "B. Shoninger" on the inside, and was made in 1903, according to the Pierce Piano Atlas. If it doesn't look that old, and just says "Shoninger", it was made in 1955.
The older ones appear to be very well built, and I enjoy working on them when I run across them.

Without inspecting it myself, I can't tell you its value. However, most older uprights do not have much value at all. Your best bet is to contact a piano technician near you. If you don't know one, contact the local school or college to see who they have work on their pianos. If they can't help you, they should be able to refer you to someone who can.
