The Benjamin model 342 ( Currently owned by Crosman Airgun Co) was made between 1969 - 92. In fair working condition it is worth between $50-$70.
If it appears to be really old it may be on the very back of the barrel on the rear cap. Usually it's on the side of the loading chamber. Benjamin made a model called the 177 it referred to the caliber but was also the model number. For a period of time Benjamin also did not put serial numbers on their guns. Today Crosman Corp owns and produces the Benjamin and the Sheridan line of airguns.
You do have an old one. The model 122 at the end of the barrel indicated that it is a .22 caliber pellet gun. There also was a model 177 that is a .177 caliber pellet gun and a model 100 that is a BB gun. All these models were first introduced in 1935 and ran until 1941. these were the first production air guns by Benjamin. The name Franklin was added as a marketing gimmick and had nothing to do with Ben Franklin. today Crosman owns both the Benjamin and Sheridan line of airguns.

I think you answered your own question. It's a combination BB and pellet rifle. I can add this information. It was made between 1969-86. It a pump rifle using the forearm as a pump. The name Benjamin Franklin was a marketing gimmick. Ben Franklin had nothing to do with it. Walter Benjamin started the company in 1899 and today it's owned by Crosman Corp.
Benjamin made this model from 1946 to 1985, but did not start serializing them until 1957. I also have a Benjamin Franklin that has no serial number. Before 1957 it is not possible to set an exact date. Just know it's OLD. The 137 is a .177 caliber pellet pistol the 132 is a .22 caliber pistol and the 130 is a BB pistol.
