ID dug figural, apple? orange? kumkquat or what

Heres a recent privy find, tooled top, smooth unmarked base. Has a lead foil type neck band but no label panels except for a flat base. I'm thinking its more of an orange because of the textured glass but welcome any ideas.

I like it and I suspect it was something very similar to this...

I'd go more with the above than an oddball White House vinegar for sure. Other than that, no comment.

Thanks I appreciate that link, orange it likely is.

Not a White House Vinegar, I have the book with all W/H bottles. It's not in it. I do like it for sure.

Looks like an orange. Liquor seems a likely guess.
I was thinking maybe a flavoring extract but it doesnt seem like orange was all that popular early on.

Perhaps a flavoring bitters? I know there was an orange bitters like Angostura at one time.....Jack
