Benjamin Franklin

The Bluebook of airguns says it is worth between $85 - $100. It was made between 1969-1992.

The rifle is a Benjamin. The name Franklin was added as a sales gimmick. Ben Franklin had nothing to do with it.

Today both Sheridan and Benjamin air guns are owned by Crosman air gun co

I believe Crosman may still have the owners manual available on there web page.

He didn't. On June 11, 1776, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Robert R. Livingston, and Roger Sherman were were given the duty to draft it. The writing was done by Jefferson. The first draft was revised by Franklin, Adams, and Jefferson before it was sent to Congress, where it was again changed.

The 137 is part of the 130 series of pistols made between 1946 to 1985. The 130 was a BB gun, the 132 was a .22 caliber and 137 was a .177 caliber pellet pistol. In order to give you an estimate of value I need to know the current condition of the gun. Is it in working condition. Is it in Poor, Fair, Good, Very Good or Excellent condition?

Benjamin Franklin helped write the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution.

Where in the world did you ever get the impression that Benjamin Franklin was willing to "fight" for freedom from England? Franklin was an Anglophile who clearly loved England, France, and Continental ways. As far as revolution goes, it is clear that Dr. Franklin preferred American independence, but it is equally clear that he remained a "fence sitter" until the outcome of the dispute took a "colonial" turn.

hi

He invented the fire station and the library. He invented the fire station and the library.

Well, two of the hardships he faced were that he was born into poverty. His family also couldn't afford for him to go to college.

the train he was on crashed on his 22nd birthday

The real answer is he died April 19, 1813 when he was 67 years old at his house!!!

lightly used, works excellent

Yes he did he wrote an autobiography and poor richard's almanac

the three ting benjamin franklin did as a stateman

no he did not

It was a failed diplomacy. But eventually a successful revolution happened for America.

Benjamin Franklin got a charge out of using a kite (: no kid

he didn't help at all?

Because he needed them himself. Both his distant vision and his near vision were becoming weaker.

He invented bifocals because he was tired of swapping from his reading glasses to his "looking out the window" glasses. He wanted something that combined both of them. To create bifocals, he put half of the lens from his "looking out the window" glasses in the top half of the eyeglass frame, and then half of the lens from his reading glasses into the bottom half of the frames. The combined form became popular and helpful to many people. Of course, he later used shortened versions of these lenses that worked even better.

People who are both far-sighted and near-sighted only need one pair of glasses.

He is most known as one of the founders of the American Government. He invented many things during his life: the Franklin stove, Bifocals, etc. For the most part, he is famous because he was resourceful, clever, and a hard worker. He was a genius, and he did EVERYTHING. He was the guy who tied the key to the kite during the thunderstorm (or so the legend goes). After the U.S. was founded, he worked as ambassador for to Britain and administer to France. The thing which made him famous for the time was the Poor Richard's almanac, which contained witty quotes by his pseudonym, Poor Richard. Among the most famous quotes are: "three can keep a secret, if two of them are dead." "Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise" "Does thou love life? Then do not squander time; for that's the stuff life is made of."

I think Franklin would love the computer. He was a person who was a creative thinker and inventor. He was so forward thinking he left a bank account for the city of Philadelphia that didn't come to the city until 1990. Now, that is looking to the future. I know he would think the computer is a wonderful invention and be totally into it.

I don't believe Benjamin ever made a model 170, but they did make a model 177. Is this the BB gun you are asking about?

Poor Richard's Almanack was published by Benjamin Franklin continually from 1732 to 1758.

Glass lenses, for use as magnifiers or for starting fires, date to about 300 BC, but the first eyeglasses to aid or correct vision were almost certainly invented in 1280 in Florence, Italy by the Dominican friar Alessandro della Spina and / or his friend, the physicist Salvino degli Armati. Prescribed for far-sightedness, the glasses had convex lenses and were worn by Armati, who had injured his eyes while performing light refraction experiments and discovered that it was possible to enlarge the appearance of objects by looking through two pieces of convex glass.It was in the early fourteenth century that concave lenses were used to correct near-sightedness. In fact, Pope Leo X was depicted wearing glasses, with concave lenses, in a 1517 painting by Raphael. Whereas early eyeglasses were made of polished quartz, by the sixteenth century developments in glassmaking made it possible to mass produce them from glass. Bifocals, the combination of both concave and convex lenses for both types of vision correction, a top lens for distant viewing and a lower lens for reading, were developed around 1760 by the American statesman and inventor Benjamin Franklin.
