This is quite an unusual Little Brown Jug. We have seen examples with "Bennington" scratched on them with the Augt 16th 1877 date, but this is the first I have seen without the "16 th" and with 1877 twice. Then we find another error, it seems he had a problem with the second "7". One can only guess what was on the potters mind that day !!

1866 or 1876

The 1876 "Smear"
...the customer already had an 1876 jug, he wanted a plain one, so just smear it out with your finger !!!
The Extra "L"
...hmmmmmm started the "L" in Little Brown Jug a little too low !!!
