Quoins are not only a great scrabble word, but also an indispensable tool in locking up forms in a letterpress chase or press bed. We have a supply of vintage reconditioned quoins in several varieties. Each Quoin has been de-rusted and/or cleaned to be in working condition. These are all used and will show some of their age with variations from the shown photos. All Quoins are tested and guaranteed to work as intended. Quoin Keys are in limited supply and we are currently looking into a newly manufactured Dry Inc brand Quoin key! (but that is still in the R&D phase)
