firkin

There is an iron pot and a tea-kettle and a frying-pan and a barrel of flour and a firkin of Graham meal; what more do we want?

Firkin hoops, or hickory withs, about as large as the ramrod of a rifle, will answer the purpose very well.

Mr. Firkin, as usual, was rigorously gentlemanly, in the quiet way.

They had a firkin of ale in a corner, with which to moisten their inner clay between each round.
