Highly unlikely I know but just in case, I'd love to buy one of these if someone had one...
Interested in any other old poker hear from the UK, chips, cards, anything...

I have about half a dozen of those but none from The Vic.
They used to give them out for festival main-events way back when.

I had about 2 kilos of them, including the ones from the Vic. God only knows how much they represented in buy-ins, they usually only gave then out for main events.
I gave them all to Mrs Red and she sold them on the car boot for ~50p each.

Ah I thought it was a dealer button. Don't want a card guard.
Anyone got any branded dealer buttons?

I believe the correct word for those dealer-buttons is a "postillion" which also means the rider of one of the lead-horses pulling a carriage.
The two are probably vaiguely connected - rather like my post.

I always thought that was the plastic card you place the deck on before dealing?

I think a postillion is the plastic card that goes at the bottom of the deck the dealer holds, so you don't see the bottom card.

I'm sure you guys are right and I just mixed them up and associated the button with the lead-horse-rider for some reason that probably only Freud could fathom.
