Thursday trivia

Here is an easy one for you. What is this? "Table" is not the correct answer. What kind of a table?

Re: Thursday trivia hint

The name comes from the usage. They usually had 7 drawers and that number is significant.

Re: Thursday trivia another hint

Time has a relationship with the answer. Not necessarily a week, though that is a part of the usage. Helps track. ;-)

Re: Thursday trivia another hint

I'd say this is a classic tri-sept-around table.

Don't think so, another hint

The word in front of table has 4 letters and could be a "collector's" item ;-)

A bill table?

Getting close, very close

Think payee, not payer.

Re: Getting close, very close

A receiving table. Usually placed in the entry hall . There was usually a tray, often silver for the callling cards of visitors.

Re: I'm kinda with Tommy but

to my way of thinking it's Lynn (and the last hint) who provided the key. Today it's not as important for the seven drawers but perhaps four of the drawers that could be divised into seven. It's a cycle that occurs twelve times each year but not called that if you own your domicile. Then its a eight letter word.
