Anachronism?

In a scene where Nathan Forbes and his undeniably beautiful fiance, Millicent Collins, are choosing a wedding date the former holds a 20th century looking Farmer's Almanac. It is supposed to be only 1795!
Not an anachronism as Vicki Winters comes from Century 20, right? Well, would about publishing date problems for the Almanac? Vicki could have just chalked it up to a misprint. Well. Where was this Almanac on Vicki when she first arrived in the 1790's? In her jacket pocket?

The first issue was published in 1792.

You missed the whole, entire, utter point, Bratface. The almanac looks like it comes from the 20th century. The almanacs they had in the 18th century were highly different looking!
