Not enough info. The number of digits can help, but you really need the whole serial number.
If you mean a Model 94 Winchester, it depends on whether it was pre-war, pre-1964, or other. You’ll have to clean it up well enough to read the serial #, or provide a photo.
Does it have a curved or straight butt plate? Is it wraparound? Is it a hooded or plain blade front sight? Those are a couple of hints to its age.
There are MANY variables:
Round or Hex barrel
Barrel length
Sights
Stock type & condition
Year manufactured
Looks like those with the number 2 as the first digit were made from 1953 through 1964 and can have a value somewhere in the $250.00 to $500.00 range, depending on condition. This advice is worth what you are paying for it.
I think it’s on the table next to the couch.
checking for a co-worker. I will get more info/pics
It’s not worth anything. You might as well just give it to me......
If you like your bluebook you can keep it. Period.
.30-30 common. .25-35, .32-55, .32-40 and .32 Winchester Special, less common. Carbines: common. Rifles much less common.
And so on.

Mine is a 1956 vintage, looks pretty beat (well-used) but the barrel is still in fine shape.
Sometimes that knowledge comes in handy if you already know it. For example, I once came across a flea market vendor who was selling a good condition paperback edition of “Dune Encyclopedia” for $10 and the moment he told me the price I handed him the money. He must have been surprised at such an easy sale but I already knew the value and sold it days later on eBay for $90. I happened to know the value because a few months earlier I bought the first printing of the “Dune Encyclopedia” mint condition at the flea market for just a buck and was shocked when it sold on eBay for over $200 so I learned at that time what all the “Dune Encyclopedia” editions were worth.
Maybe you can sell it to someone in Canada. I hear they are the Jihadi’s weapon of choice there.
Take it to a gun dealer or pawn shop that deals in used guns. Let them make you an
offer and double it. Deal from that figure with a public buyer.

One of my brothers has my Dad’s .32 Winchester Special that was manufactured in 1907.
It’s worth ten dollars. If you were in the year 1894. :D ( sorry. Just kidding)
I’ll ask Chumlee
Excellent!
It’s worth $9.50. I’ll give you $10.00 and you can keep the change.
