Golden Russet is a period cider apple which is still grown and highly
regarded.  Another is Ashmead's Kernel (also russeted) which was introduced in
the 1700's as a cider apple.  (Russets are brownish gold rough spots on the
skin of apples.)

Various modern pippins are descendants of pippins highly regarded as cider
apples, such as the Ribston Pippin (also know as Essex Pippin, Glory of York)
considered to have originated in Yorkshire, England around 1700.
