quoin

Some of my surprise may have noted itself in my face, for he laughed boastfully as he threw the quoin upon the deck.

Mark you this,and leaning over, he took from one of the guns a chocking quoin of hickory-wood banded with copper.

Porter's quoin is adopted for all carriages requiring quoins.

A third slid a quoin along the "bed" of the carriage, under the gun, to support it at the required height.

He fell on his knees, with his face on his hands in the open quoin drawer, feeling as if he had uttered a blasphemy.
