I picked up a gem of a 10er and am going to do restoration this winter. My question I have is what 110 v motor would be a good replacement. I have a monster 220v one on it now. I want to make it as original looking as possible.

There is no 'original'(it came without one). However an A O Smith 1/2 hp was optional.

IIWM, I would use the 'monster'. If you mean physical size, it would be 'age appropriate'.

What is the HP rating and speed of the 220 volt
motor?

Like the other (vowel missing) poster, above, I agree.
Use the 220 volt motor, if it is good, and has enough power.

Congratulations on you new "gem".
One of my 10ERs came with a big old GE 3/4 hp motor that can run on 220 of 110. 10ER 110/220 motor
Check the information plate on your motor, if it is dual voltage then changing it to run on 110 would not be difficult.

Also here is another thread that covered the motor spec's and some of the replacement options. 10 ER motor
