What do you need to know? I used to have one. Installed and serviced it
myself.

I can get you instructions for

Aga Solid Fuel Deluxe
Cookers
Models C, CB, E
(1956-2001)

The OP says charcoal fired - but were they, in the early 1950's?
Surely charcoal wouldn't have been that easy to come by then,
certainly not in the quantity required to keep an AGA going 24/7. I
thought it was coke, or anthracite.

as I remember*, it was called "Phurnacite" - egg shaped pellets. Our only
needed filling twice a day. I'm sure in some rural areas that amount of
charcoal would hve been available.

* we had an AGA from 1964 until I rebuilt the kitchen in 1969. It wasn't
until I came to take it apart that I discovered why it never worked
properly. It hadn't been assembled correctly. ;-(
