You would need to post a picture of the actual oboe for us to accurately guide you. Most manufacturers make/made multiple styles of instruments, from beginner to professional keywork, so it would be hard to tell just from the name of the company itself. If you can plainly see the holes in the wood where the fingers cover - it is a open-finger system. Closed fingering has solid keys covering all the holes. I would be more concerned about it being in the loft (attic?) and having the wood dried out over the years. I would borrow the oboe, have a repair shop check it out and give you a repair/adjustment estimate (it WILL need some tlc) and then decide if it is worth it for you. If the wood is solid, the bore is straight and the keys are working well - there is no significant difference between 20 yrs and new (particularly at the student learner level.)
