      I see that no one has responded to your post. I have been trying to find out about my desk as well. Please see my post. I believe they are from the same company. My desk has the scroll. Let me know your thoughts or if you ever found out anything. Thank you so much.

      I will offer a link to help you research this. There is even a page where you can post as unknown type desk and seek information. I only use the site for gathering information now and then but it may be of help.

      I have this children's desk and chair. It's in excellent condition.

      We have my mom’s foundation desk Chicago company. The scroll is in great shape. We’re missing the hinge part where the mechanism slides as desk top goes up and down which attaches to the base part of the desk yet have the long guide part which is attached to the underneath of the desk top.
      Does anyone know where or how to find this part?
      Also missing one of the wooden knobs/handle to lift the desk top.
      I’d love to see any photos of your desks open and closes.
      Thanks!

      To Babso258,
      Hello...my mother had this desk as a child..and I played with it. After many years being passed around it finally came back to me today. It is missing the scroll and other pieces. I would like to restore it as much as I can. Could you take pictures of your desk...especially the inside and send them to me..so I can have a reference to go by? If so thank you very much..that would help me greatly as these desk seem to be rare these days.
