I enjoy restoring older things and have been looking to pick up a coal stove to restore for my shop.

I came across one locally but have been unable to find any information on it.

The only writing I can’t find on it is CONTENT

Too fancy for a shop in my opinion, put it in the living room. There were hundreds of different stove brands over the years. I don't recognize it but, based on the fine detail of the castings I would bet it was a high end model when it was new.

It needs legs, and is probably missing it's finial. What's the firebox and grate like?

Well it’s sold now I snoozed too long. It had good grates that came in from the side.

It happens, I missed out on a combustioneer cause I didn't get to the phone quick enough..... As a general rule the more details the castings have the better the stove. Isenglass is pretty but fragile and something to avoid a lot of if you plan to use it a lot but, sheet metal can go in it's place. For a shop I would look out for a warm morning stove.
