Whoever the cap fits - a bit of a lopsided popeye.
The fingernails holding the bottle is probably where the "bug" came from was my first thought when I got this from a lady Morganeer.

Not a lot of people know this!
The four Goldberg brothers, Lowell, Norman, Hiram, and Max, invented and
developed the first automobile air-conditioner. On July 17, 1946 , the temperature in Detroit was 97 degrees.
The four brothers walked into old man Henry Ford's office and
sweet-talked his secretary into telling him that four
gentlemen were there with the most exciting innovation in the
auto industry since the electric starter.
Henry was curious and invited them into his office.
They refused and instead asked that he come out to the parking lot
to their car.
They persuaded him to get into the car, which was about 130
degrees, turned on the air conditioner, and cooled the car off
immediately.
The old man got very excited and invited them back to the office,
where he offered them $3 million for the patent.
The brothers refused, saying they would settle for $2 million, but
they wanted the recognition by having a label, 'The Goldberg
Air-Conditioner,' on the dashboard of each car in which it was
installed.
Now old man Ford was more than just a little anti-Jewish, and
there was no way he was going to put the Goldberg's name on
two million Fords.
They haggled back and forth for about two hours and finally agreed
on $4 million and that just their first names would be
shown.
And so to this day, all Ford air conditioners show
--
Lo, Norm, Hi, and Max -- on the controls.
