This belonged to my grandmother (1920-1940). I have used the base as a porch table, but would like to find other ways to use it.

you can it as a small table in living room, dining room ,etc. i’ve Seen it done and it is beautiful. Decorate it as you would any other small side piece.
A desk. That may or may not require a larger top, depending on size work area desired.
A vanity for a small lavatory. Nostalgic but quite attractive in a rustic or country farm style bathroom.
A Kitchen island. If extra height is needed, build a box base to set it on. Casters would allow it to be moved if & when necessary.
Along that line, that make great serving carts. Add casters to feet or rolling base, towel bars on each end. What's better than that?

Oops -- hope these suggestions inspire you.
Is it all wood? Paint it. Put a bottom in it & store your sewing stuff in it. Coffee station or tea or hot chocolate. End table, by front door to put your purse in with hat & gloves with key hanging thing above it. Add shelf under it for flower or shoes or basket for misc. Good luck.
Add a tray with an old fashioned tea service.
