Welcome to Quilting Board.
Here is a link to some National rotary machines. A few are brown crinkle finish.

By any chance, does it have a motor in front? I think this page may have some information about your machine.

I'm fairly certain that your machine was made to use 20x1 sewing machines needles. Many have dropped a 15x1 needle down a bit. There is Sometimes you can find
20x1 needles on
eBay. Many have used the modern needles on machines like this by dropping the needle a bit from the stop. Someone,
on another forum (titled "15x1 rather than 20x1 needles"), used a sheet magnet cut to fit inside the needle bar in order to have the 15x1 needle stop at the proper position.
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a

paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.
