The universal symbol for pawn or Pawnbroking is the three gold balls and is one of the most easily recognized in the world. The Medici families in Italy along with the Lombards in England were money Lenders in Europe. Legend has it that one of the Medicis, under the employment of Charles the Great, fought a giant and slew him with three sacks of rocks. The three gold balls or globes later became part of their family crest and ultimately the sign of pawnbroking.
In 1971, Fashion designer Diane Von Furstenburg raised capital to launch her “wrap dress” business by pawning her diamond ring. Her signature wrap dress became a fashion craze in the 1970s and earned her a reputation as one of America’s most well-known designers. Today, Von Furstenberg’s business has grown into a multi-million dollar corporation and has extended beyond clothes into luggage, perfume, and accessories.
The Nursery Rhyme: “Pop Goes the Weasel” refers to pawning. A “weasel” is a shoemaker’s tool and to “pop” is to pawn. “That’s the way the money goes…Pop goes the weasel”, that is, the tool goes to a pawnshop as collateral on a loan!
Pawnbroking is the oldest method of lending money. Evidence of transactions dates back to China as early as 2,000 to 3,000 years ago. However, modern pawnbroking became more distinguishable in the Middle Age.
