A little bit about me... Some of you may know me by my username on eBay: navybrat22. I've been selling Zippo Lighters, vintage pinup ephemera and Case XX Knives on eBay for five years. I'm a late "baby boomer" hitting the big 5-0 this year. I've had an interest and love in all things old-hollywood and vintage pinup since I was a little girl. I've been a film buff since high school and prefer watching old movies of the 1930s through 1950s over most movies made today. I scour flea markets and antique shops wherever I go in search for anything related to vintage pinup or Zippo lighters. I also collect vintage salt and pepper shakers and have more than 800 sets, focusing on those with faces. I'm a mom to two kids, ages 22 and 18 - one graduated college the other on the way... I am a passionate Nebraska Cornhusker & Kansas Jawhawk football fan and look forward to football season each fall.
Style Icons: Marilyn Monroe, Joan Crawford, Natalie Wood, Bettie Page, Madonna, Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable, Raquel Welsh, Cary Grant, Bette Davis, Doris Day, Clara Bow, Louise Brooks & Katherine Hepburn.

I've designed this site with the vintage hollywood collector in mind. Bookmark Silver Screen Dames and my Vintage Diva Oz Zippo site on eBay.
If you're a lover of vintage pinup, visit my website dedicated to the art of Gil Elvgren and many others. This site has become one of the most popular Elvgren sites on the internet! Also have a lookie at my Lighter Galaxy & Zippo Galaxy websites which concentrates on all things vintage tobacco & Zippo related goodies.
Why the name navybrat22? Well, you might have guessed I'm a "baby boomer" kid of a Navy man. My dad served from 1951 til retirement in 1971. We lived all over the country while growing up; from Chula Vista, CA to Philadelphia and some points in between. Ended up in the sticks of Nebraska and eventually in the Kansas City area.
