This is a jug on display at my county historical society. It's actually a one gallon. I just thought it was funny, someone got a little too stamp-happy. Definitely a one-of-a-kind.

The stamps could be to indicate the amount left as it was drank.

Or maybe the maker had a young kid tugging at his leg wanting to stamp and finally he or she finally said, "ok darling this jug is for you to do."
