Yes the McIntyre was a legitimate system but it did not catch on. So only a few were made (I don't know the numbers). These do come up several times a year on eBay.
There was also a Mazzeo system that also never caught on. Selmer produced limited numbers of these. Again they show up on eBay several times a year.
In both cases, the instruments were discontinued due to the low level of sales. Neither is made today. From what I have read, both were solutions to the problem of the poor throat Bb and worked pretty well. Why they didn't catch on is a mystery.
There were even other systems but I haven't seen them for sale, just photos in some of our good books.
