"The Vic" dealer button

[1tripz1]

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...

Think its a card protector, have you been on ebay?

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?

[1tripz1]

What about one of these?

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.
