Title: "The Vic" dealer button Post by: 1tripz1 on June 17, 2018, 11:12:12 PM 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... Title: Re: "The Vic" dealer button Post by: redsimon on June 18, 2018, 02:15:14 AM Think its a card protector, have you been on ebay?
Title: Re: "The Vic" dealer button Post by: Karabiner on June 18, 2018, 10:40:00 AM 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. Title: Re: "The Vic" dealer button Post by: RED-DOG on June 18, 2018, 11:39:18 AM 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. Title: Re: "The Vic" dealer button Post by: 1tripz1 on June 18, 2018, 12:47:27 PM Ah I thought it was a dealer button. Don't want a card guard.
Anyone got any branded dealer buttons? Title: Re: "The Vic" dealer button Post by: 1tripz1 on June 18, 2018, 01:06:56 PM What about one of these?
Title: Re: "The Vic" dealer button Post by: Karabiner on June 20, 2018, 07:19:38 PM 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. ::) Title: Re: "The Vic" dealer button Post by: redsimon on June 20, 2018, 07:36:00 PM 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.

Title: Re: "The Vic" dealer button Post by: Tal on June 20, 2018, 07:36:28 PM 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. |
