thank you all for your comments and input.

to answer a couple of questions, table top is 21.5 inches diameter, height is 28 inches,
there are no casters although it does look as if it might have been designed for such, only the top 3/4 inch disk rotates
no the part with the drawers in it.  This is what makes me wonder if it is just broken.  There are signs that the top had
been glued down but I wonder if that is a later fix.

It does seem to be a drum table but none of the on-line images have a support system like it.

thanks again

I recently received this table from Newfoundland (see pics). 
I am not sure what kind of a table it is.
The circular top spins around though it may once have been fixed and may now be broken.
There are 4 drawers in the table - one of which is visible in the picture of the side view.
I am not so interested in the value of the table but am interested in what it was originally designed for.

thanks in advance for any help
