Hi there, this looks to be a collection box stool were the gate or entrance attendant would sit and collect tokens or coins for admittance to eg transportation etc! Sit and drop in box situation Age ? 1920's also the stain on top may indicate it was not so comfortable to sit for long periods so attendant may have chosen to use as a drink stand occasionally ? ..
