The “Frozen Hitty” is the same size and has the same face as the limited edition Hitty. The only difference is that her legs are carved as one piece so her chemise and pantalettes are painted on. She is wearing her strand of coral beads and a brown print dress hand-made by Sandy. She is signed, numbered – #13 – and dated – 3-29-96.   This doll was a part of my grandmother’s extensive doll collection and was displayed in a glass case since she received her. She was a bit difficult to photograph as the light kept bouncing off her face.   Shipping within the United States is a flat $10.  I will ship internationally for an additional charge and can provide a quote depending on the country.  Be sure to check out my other auctions and feel free to email any questions you may have.  Good luck and happy bidding!
