I believe it is missing something in the center of the grate.

The center grate slider laying on the floor is going in the center of the round grate in the stove. Looks like a coal stove . To get the ash out in the ash pan you pull and push that fork.
You can go to the Coal Pail Forum and there you should get a lot of infos.

It's a coal-fired laundry stove. A copper boiler usually sat on top. We have one of those old tubs now used as a kindling holder.
