Information about this stove please. I think it might be a Sears and Roebuck. Possibly 1950s
 
What exactly do you want to know.
 
You would have to look for casting marks to know who made it. But it is absolutely a coal stove
 
It doesn’t have any markings
Them i cant help you on the manufacturer. There were many companies making stoves similar to that
 
Does it at least seem to be in working order?
It looks like all the parts are there at least. I personally wouldn't use it though.

If you don’t mind me asking why wouldn’t you. I’ve not gotten yet but was thinking about it. Was going to put it in a small cabin

They are typically very leaky and hard to control and impossible to control if you burn wood in them
 
Especially in small space do not use this stove , buy something with an airtight door so when you idle down for the night you won’t have the co issues as you would with the other stove
 
This stove was made by King Range & Stove Co. Sheffield, Alabama. Name should be inside door.
I have one (identical) and use it to heat my small high desert cabin, with wood. Works great.
Hope this helps someone.
