I believe most Supremes were Spinners and were called Mark II, Mark IV etc. Adam has one in his galleries and I believe there are a couple in the Yahoo groups. Every Supreme I've seen has blades with rounded points (including the one pictured here), and every Supreme has had the same variable speed knob (black with 4/5 notches and a gold sticker? on the end), either on the switch housing or a wall control.
The Supreme spinners I've seen, including the one in Adam's gallery, have a leaf-style badge bracket similar to, but NOT the same as, Evergo spinners. They all have 4 blades, which for some reason do not align straight across but are a bit offset. Again, Adam's is a good one to refer to. Adam's has vent holes; all the ones I've seen do not.
The fan I have labeled as a Ritz Emperor in my folder in the Yahoo group may in fact be a Supreme, as it has the same blades, greenish motor inside (IIRC), and the same variable speed knob (not visible in the pic).

Another thing to note is the "wells" in the motor between each blade iron. Just like the "Ever-Muster" fans listed on toviewfans. Dan noted that some of his Codeps had a similar motor tag.

Motor is identical to my Codep/Ever-Musters, and the tag is very similar. The downrod and canopy are also the same as my Commander fan with the flywheel.
Anyone remember Andrew G's unknown Original copy in the files section?

Anyone remember Andrew G's unknown Original copy in the files section? And don't forget Hicks' heater fan.

I picked up a Surpreme flushmount with 4 blades with cane inserts today. Still trying to figure out what year span it is. Looks like mid 80s to me. The label is on the motor itself. Also with the deal was a Fasco Charlestown brass with wood blades and about 10 random blades. Not bad; $10 for all that. Oh, and what is that industrial behind your Surpreme? Never seen one of those before. Awesome looking fan.

I can not seem to get the image on here, but I will put it on my website for everyone to see (markofexcellence.ezchef.net) scroll down to (Supreme Fan Gallery)

I'm going to pull a Dan and bring this one back up to the top. So far, on either this thread or others, I (or we) have pointed out that:
* Supreme spinners' blades are almost, if not always, offset, meaning that two opposing blades do not make a straight line. These fans also have a bracket design similar to, but fancier than, that found on Evergo spinners.
* Most Supremes had rounded points for tips, including this one, the Emperor in my Yahoo gallery, and the Supremes in Adam's galleries.
* Supremes with a variable speed control had a black knob with notches, a shiny decal on the end, and a white pointer, whether it was on the fan or on the wall control.
* Supremes are usually named Mark I, Mark II, Mark III, Mark IV, etc. I'm assuming this was how the models were named?
* Supremes with an actual motor housing (this one and the Emperor) have green motors, similar to a Ritz.
Anyone have any more information to add? How about giving Supreme its own category on sites that have galleries (this one, Yahoo VCF, etc.)?

I would, but I have trouble telling a Supreme from other similar brands without the telltale Hunter canopy. The spinners look just like CECs and Toastmasters to me, for example your Supreme Emperor looks just like my Codep Emperor (toviewfans4)

Forgot about the Hunter canopy... go ahead and add that to the list
Most Supreme spinners I've seen are NOT like Toastmasters... the motor housing has no vent holes, and several of the models have perforated sidebands. That white one in Adam's gallery is very Toastmaster-like.
I do see what you mean about that Codep... it even has rounded points on the blades. However, the cane and the blade tips themselves are more pronounced on the one I took, and more resemble the Supreme at the top of this page than the fan on toviewfans. Either way, you have very valid points... hard call. It's a shame the fans were installed too high up for me to see any kind of label.
Another example of a potential Supreme is in the moss-caribbean-ritz-toastmaster gallery, on the last page. You posted it as "spinner" and another user posted the same pic as "indoor fan". Note, this one has a vented housing and it has pointed blades, but it has Supreme brackets and housing.

No vents and perforated sideband? Offhand I'm not sure which fan you're referring to.

I still dont recall seeing one with a non-solid sideband. Maybe when you remind me I'll go OOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH THAT ONE.
