Restoring brown bed tube

I recently found a brown bed tube kind like a old hospital bed and I found it in a barn. It's all rusted. How old do you think it might be? Its all tube with a square solid piece in the middle all brown with caster wheels. How do I restore or finish it so I can paint it hunter green or white?

I have this same bed and wanted to know if you finished this one and how you did it.

Thanks
