It's an Oscar Schmidt from around 1910. One of the cheapest of the cheap banjos. Likely you can get it to be playable by setting up with Nylon strings.

It has all its hooks and nuts, and intact head, and a tailpiece. What's not to like for a little restoration project to pass the winter?
I presume the neck is intact and all the frets are there. You need tuners obviously. Can't tell if you need a nut or not. A bridge is no big expense. Probably should buy the shortest one you can find to start.
Have fun with it.
