Oh, that's really a lovely vintage machine and appears in very nice condition too. If it is in good working condition, you have a keeper.
Since there aren't any manuals available, you can look at various web sites and videos of how to use similar vintage machines. Sorry, you're probably not going to find instructions that match your machine exactly. If you become very frustrated, check if there is a beginning sewing class locally where they will show you how to use your machine. Or perhaps take it to a sewing machine shop and ask them to show you how to use it. FWIW, it probably could use a good cleaning and oiling before you begin using it. (These old vintage machines do need frequent oiling with fresh, good quality sewing machine oil.)

Just offhand, it appears the bobbin winder is on the lower right front and side of the machine. The spool pin in front is where the thread spool goes. The thread feeds under and up the silver button at the right. Start the bobbin by handwinding about 10 wraps of thread onto the bobbin then insert the bobbin onto the bobbin pin at the top right (just left of the rubber tire). The silver flap then snaps down over the bobbin. Release the center knob on the handwheel (turn the center counter clockwise) while holding the outer handwheel with the other hand. Then press the foot controller gently to wind the bobbin. When the bobbin is wound, remember to activate the handwheel again by turning the center wheel clockwise.
Did some research on vintage Singer models. There are some similarities to your machine, ie Singer 457 and 320.
