- Noggins were mostly used as eating vessels long ago. They were made of wood, and some of them were scooped from the wood into shape. Others were made in parts, one part for the sides, and one for the bottom, and one for the handle. These were joined by stays. We cannot find any noggin in this district now as the last we heard of at the home of Mr. Jow Halton of Phoenixtown, were taken by American visitors only a few years ago.
