John Mackintosh (luthier)
John Mackintosh ( ga, Seán Mac an Taoisigh; –1841) was a luthier, author and maker of violins from Dublin. Towards the end of his career, he wrote a short publication on violin making and the Cremonese school, where he claims to have rediscovered their forgotten technique of wood preservation. One of his violins is preserved as part of a collection at the National Museum of Ireland, Dublin. Early life Very little is known about Mackintosh's early life. While it is well documented that he spent most of his teenage and adult life living and working in Dublin, it is thought by some that he was born in Scotland. However, this may be a mistake due to the existence of two other Scottish luthiers named John Macintosh (spelled without a 'k') that flourished in Scotland in the 19th century.

Mackintosh's
Mackintosh's was a British confectionery firm founded in Halifax, Yorkshire, England. It was known for its toffee and the Quality Street and Rolo brands. Beginnings The firm was founded by John Mackintosh (1868-1920) and his wife, Violet (née Taylor), who bought a pastry shop in Halifax with their joint savings of £100 in 1890, the year that they married. Violet, who had been a confectioner's assistant before her marriage, ran the shop and her husband continued to work at a cotton mill. To attract customers, they decided to sell a special toffee. Violet developed a recipe which blended the traditional, brittle English butterscotch with soft, American caramel, and they sold the toffee as Mackintosh's Celebrated Toffee. The toffee's success enabled Mackintosh to expand the business beyond Halifax by 1894. Indeed, it was so successful that it "ultimately transformed popular understanding of the term 'toffee', previously a description of any sugar or boiled sweet". Moving fr ...
