How much is this stamp worth?

Question

I have a stamp from the 1920's in really good condition, it says "Special delivery" and has a picture of a delivery truck on it, in black and white. Any idea on how much its worth?

Depending on its perforation, what you describe might be what American collectors would call Scott number E14 (perf 11) or E19 (perf 11 x 10 1/2).  For a canceled copy the catalog value ranges from $1 to 20 cents.  For a mint copy, $2 to $1.25, but it's unlikely anyone would offer you as much as catalog value.

Here's a picture of what I think you have:
