Welcome. I can't tell about the age, but I'm fairly certain that it would be a National machine, especially if it looks like https://www.worthpoint.com/worthoped...onal-150084637. You can see some similar machines at http://needlebar.org/nbwiki/index.ph...uttle_Machines.
Rather than re-typing, I have quoted a couple of my posts, that I believe would apply to your machine.

We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at https://www.quiltingboard.com/attach...020-01-17-.pdf
Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "Upload" button.
I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of quilt block ID?
Another way to post pictures can be found at 2021/2022, 2.5” Birthday Swap
Or simply - Make sure pictures are smaller than 2MB
Click on red "Reply" button
Click on the paper clip icon
Click browse - choose picture/s. (only 5 allowed per post)
Once they show up as being loaded, Scroll over to the right side and click on "Upload"
After the pictures show up as being attached, you can close that window and go back to the screen to finish posting your post.

There is a video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kf4EdcMx0eE It is not the same machine, but is similar as to the threading of your machine. There should be a notch on the back side of the screw and you want to pass the thread behind the screw through the notch to the underside so that it goes between the two springs and then as seen in the video. The piece on the faceplate is in a different location but is threaded the similarly.
As for winding the bobbin, it is quite similar to the instructions for the Burdick as seen at https://www.sil.si.edu/DigitalCollec...ges/image6.htm You will want to bring the thread behind the bobbin winder and through the notches/thread guides as shown.
...
Looking forward to seeing your machine and the things you make with it.

It appears from http://www.waynesthisandthat.com/Ant...0Machines.html that the Brunswick that they were probably made for Montgomery Wards. I don't know where they got the dates from, perhaps from old catalogs. I have seen some that are on line.
Trying to date some of these machines has been difficult at best. There are some that have tried to date various brands of machines by collecting data that came with various machines.
Clean, oil and sew with it. Threading should be similar to other National machines with similar parts.
