Yeah, there should be. That's odd.

Not a Supreme. Badge design is more like Evergo than Supreme, and tips are arched, not "rounded points".
If the white wire is missing, all you should have to do is thread a new one down through the motor shaft and connect it with any loose white wires in the switch housing. Depending on the way the pullchain works with the variable speed, you may also have to thread a blue wire through for the light (although the light looks like it's connected somehow already).

I would assume those three white leads with covers on them are meant to feed into the switch housing, Where does the black wire terminate? What's on the other side of the motor shaft, do any wires come out there?
I thought Supreme because the blades are offset. I remember JW saying that was a Supreme thing.

Oh yeah this one of course. The one he posted also have the THICK motor. That would be a Commander Malibu.

That fan does need some TLC. You could carefully bend the blade arms back into position, being careful not to fatigue the metal too much.

Evergo never actually made a spinner like this. Also they were Ngok Kee not Shi Chen.

I've started taking everything out in order to clean up the rust. I had never seen a variable switch encased in cardboard: Code

Also, as I was cleaning the filth off the switch housing, I used some industrial cleaner we used at school. The brass coloring came off, leaving a nice, uniform coating of chrome. Is this normal? (Perfect except for the tiny rust specks.)

Well, my very limited experience is showing.

Canopy looks to be a Toastmaster to me as well.. Fan looks to be a Toastmaster, or could have been labeled as a Ju Feng Electric or Commander, or any of those rare small manufacturers. I don't think Supreme had anything to do with that fan. Evergo, i don't believe neither, however I've been surprised before. I've never seen a brass one of these, nor with a variable speed control.. A very unique fan, the motor it self looks to be in great shape, I'm sure the bearings are needing to be replaced, and the inner motor housing needs sanding.. It's too bad that the blade badges are rusted up.. neat fan...

(Perfect except for the tiny rust specks.) That's probably because the "brass finish" is simply transparent yellow paint or lacquer they put on top of the "chrome" finished metal. Does the brass "color" come off the motor as well? That may be the only way you save ANY of the finish on that fan. You could use a Dremel or a GOOD sanding job and rough it up a bit before repainting it (or sand it and leave it for a "brushed nickel" look of sorts.) Whatever you do, it doesn't need to be exposed to any more humidity!
