Mackintosh Commemoration Sweet Tin
"This tin commemorates the Irish Free State. It was produced by Mackintosh sweet company. The tin has five painted panels including O'Connell Street formerly known as Sackville Street with Nelson’s Pillar intact. This pillar was since bombed by Nationalists in 1966. There is a scene showing Dun Laoghaire harbor (formerly known as Kingstown). The top section of the tin shows The Lakes of Killarney. The tin was discovered in a shed full of nails in Ring Terrace in Inchicore in the house of an employee of Rowntree Mackintosh, in 2015. It was manufactured in England."
