    What was the original purpose for this item? The "trough" on the top has me baffled. It's about four to five feet long and looks like it from the 50's to me. I know it's not really an autopsy table (too short) but what could it be?

      I believe that would be called either a crown top or crown head display table. Got its name from the trim looking similar to crown molding. Autopsy table would be made of non porous material like marble or stainless steel etc.
