Was Benjamin Franklin founder of the Liberty Bell?
No. The liberty bell wasn't the "liberty bell" when Franklin was alive. When he was alive it was the State House Bell and first was called the Liberty Bell by a group trying to outlaw slavery in the 1830's. It was suppose to remind Americans of the early days when they fought and worked for independence. The bell was made in London and it cracked after it arrived in Philadelphia. A new bell was made in 1753 from the English bell, but by 1846 a thin crack began to appear and affected the sound of the bell. It was repaired in 1846 and rang for a George Washington birthday celebration, but cracked again and hasn't rung since. It weighs about 2000 pounds and is made of 70% copper, 25% tin, and some lead, zinc, arsenic, gold and silver. It hangs from what is thought to be the original yoke made from an American elm. As you can see Franklin had nothing to do with the bell.

1949 liberty quarter liberty bell no mint mark how much is it worth?
It can't be a quarter, or it can't have a Liberty Bell image on it. All quarters from 1932 to 1998 have a picture of George Washington on the front and an eagle on the back.
However, half dollars from 1948 to 1963 did have the Liberty Bell on the back - did you check the coin's denomination?
And finally, remember that mint mark positions today are different from 60 years ago. The position on quarters was on the back under the bow, and on halves above the yoke of the bell - plus, Philadelphia didn't use a mint mark until 1980 on those denominations, so your coin may not have a letter at all.

The Liberty Bell 7 (the capsule for the Mercury 4 mission) was not recovered at the end of the mission like most capsules. It sank in the Atlantic because the craft's hatch was opened too soon (apparently due to a malfunction) and it began filling with water before the recovery helicopter could get a cable attached.
