About Us
Deerfield Pawn has been in business at the same location since 1983. However, the family business was founded much earlier than that. In 1915, the family opened the first ever pawn shop in St. Louis County, Missouri. Today, Frank Papper and his son, Scott, proudly operate this 4th generation business.
Frank Papper is a 3rd generation pawnbroker, estate jewelry and diamond buyer that specializes in high value loans and purchases. Frank bought his first diamond in 1968 and has been assisting the community in their financial needs for over 4 decades.
Scott Papper is a GIA Graduate Gemologist, Applied Jewelry Professional and Certified Master Appraiser with well over 10 years of full-time industry experience. In addition to estate jewelry & diamond buying, Scott specializes in jewelry appraisals & gemology. In 2018, Scott became a published author, releasing his first book: "The Art of Gemology", now available at Amazon.com.
