Good morning from Texas. I am trying to find out what kind of stove this is. Person I got it from said it was a Franklin but I am unsure. Also, where would I go to find feet to fit it and the top of it. thank you for your assistance.

Well first off its a coal stove not a wood stove. Does it say made in Taiwan on the back? It looks similar to the cheap Taiwan remakes but I don't remember any of them having the no 24 on the ash lip.
I think the original was the Washington Stove Company No 24. I don’t remember seeing 24 on any either. Maybe that means it’s an original in a sea of reproductions, or it could be a reproduction they named No 24.
There are (or were) many manufacturers of that stove. I’m not sure if the legs interchange.

The handles and Castings don't really look right for an original. But it could easily be the paint throwing it off.
I have to wonder if the person that repainted it used high temp paint. If they didn’t… open the windows!
I highly doubt they did. And I wouldn't fire it with regular paint on it. Especially not inside
Looks like the Mary Kay or Pepto Bismol of stoves. I suspect Taiwan knockoff too. If so, there is usually a nickel bar below the door that covers over the 24.
