If the insides are also in great shape then it should be nicely restorable. The nickel may need replating but that is totally doable. If the restored value is around $2000 you will have a nice antique heater. Go over the stove closely and carefully. Look for any cracks, broken bricks, warped grates, etc..Then, get on the phone and talk with some professional stove restorers about options and value of the stove.
To be determined - is this a wood or a coal stove. You can tell that by the grates and air supply. Coal will have heavy shaker grates and air under the fire. Given the age of the stove it will need to have 36" clearances to combustibles all around when installed. The rear and side clearances can be reduced with proper NFPA 211 wall shielding.
