Nice stove!!!Welcome to CW!! I've posted a couple myself!!
Stuff
To start with the single picture isn't much help to see markings
Is this actually marked "Franklyn Cottage 13 Stove"?
The marking on the front of the stove is WM Resor & Co Cincinnati
OK, that makes more sense. Franklin wasn't spelled with a "Y" which set off a red flag for being a fake/reproduction. This appears to be firebrick lined which the originals weren't. They were more commonly just bare cast iron. This also appears to be for wood or coal but with the limited photo difficult to say.
Does the finial lift off to expose a cooking plate where you could set a pot? Possibly and more commonly two cooking plates?
With the limited information and lack of information I suspect this is probably a number of years shy of being an antique and possibly considered Franklin style by some.
