H & B Jewelry & Loan Co

H&B Jewelry and Loan Company was established in 1947 by Lou Tobin. Although Lou had no formal education, he developed a philosophy "Be fair with your customers, give them bargains and treat them with dignity and they will remain your customers forever." That philosophy is still in place. We are honored by generations of good customers and friends of H&B, and we remember they are the reason we are here.

H&B has been a member of the National Pawnbroker's Association since 1989, and is indeed Oregon's oldest licensed pawnbroker. For decades we have specialized in fine diamonds and fine jewelry, as a member of the Jeweler's Board of Trade for over thirty years. We also belong to the JCK and the Oregon State Jewelers Association.

In 1970, Phil Tobin (Lou's son) came into the company adding his own new dimension to an already thriving business. Phil has been at the helm for the past 35 years, moving the company into the 21st century with a standard that is unequaled in the pawn industry. In 2005, (Phil's son) Marc entered the business and has been steering the ship since.

Today, over 70 years later, H&B Jewelry and Loan has become the oldest state licensed pawnbroker in Oregon. Although specializing in jewelry, H&B handles everything you would expect to find in a well-run organized pawnshop. Jewelry, cameras, musical instruments, electronics, and much more. The company averages over 200 loans per day and has a staff of professionals all eager to help you.
