Pam West
Since the age of 14, Pam has been a collector, first of
coins, then of paper money after she became fascinated with the old
notes customers sometimes gave her for the goods she sold in Petticoat
Lane and Upton Park market. Seeing some framed mauve British 10/- notes
in a stamp shop was the final push she needed to become hooked as a
collector. Pam joined IBNS in 1977 and the following year was on the
organizing committee for the annual IBNS Congress (now re-named the
World Paper Money Fair). She became London Chapter chairman in 1981, a
post she has held off and on ever since, though continuously since 2005.
Her first commercial venture was having rigid sleeves made for
banknotes, followed by archival quality sleeves manufactured in the UK
and supplied to various companies, including the Guernsey Treasury. Pam
then ran paper money fairs. Pam became a full-time paper money dealer in
1993, one year after the birth of her son.
