Hi everyone. My neighbor gave me an odd table (pictures attached). It looks like a four person oval dinner table with claw feet. The top is venered and pulls up when you pull a latch underneath and it has two odd screws on the hinge side with banjo shaped heads on the screws that easily unscrew and then the top comes off completely. With the top in the up position the top of the base is a hollow square that I haven't been able to figure out how to get into and there is about an inch deep hollow in the top of the square where small things could be kept. Perhaps game pieces or decks of cards. If anyone has an idea of the purpose or age of this table I'd appreciate a reply. Thanks, Pat Sherman, San Diego
