Hi Keith and welcome to the forum. Really nice little stove. Looks to be a rare model of stove. I like it. Is it enameled or painted?
What kind of help are you looking for?

I know nothing about coal but what I've read here. It is a redish brown porcelain that turns black toward the edges. I was looking for a little wood burner to take the chill off of a small room. Now I have to decide how to use this and if it is safe.

I don't see anything about the grates that look like it has some kind of shaker. If the grates don't shake, it's probably a wood stove.

Hi there. Just bought a stove just like this. Is this a wood or coal stove? Any idea where I can get the humidifying cup on the lid?

Thanks!

Post some pictures of the inside, of the firebox. Usually if it has a grate it is a coal burning appliance, but not always.
Forum members will be able to answer some questions with the visuals.
If it is just a flat bottom to the firebox it is likely wood only.

On the original poster's photos, there is a tab for the lower part of the grate, which if your's is identical, does that tab move the lower part of the grate for shaking?

Coal appliances usually have an air control for above the fire, but the photos of the original poster's does not show an air control that I can see, does your's have one above the fire?
