My grandparents recently gave me this old table. They don't know much about it. They've had it for at least 20 years. It was purchased in the south suburbs of Chicago, IL. I was able to find the name H.T. Cushman North Bennington Vermont on it. My grandma thought it was used to hold something small like a candle. From what i've been able to tell, it looks like it might be a smoking stand. Any ideas on what I have here and what it might be worth?

It certainly appears to be a smoking stand. The top is of the Arts & Crafts mission oak style. Difficult to tell from the photos what kind of wood it's made from, how it's made or if the drawer is dove-tailed in it's construction. The makers paper label still intact would add to the value.
