Mr. Macintosh

Mr. Macintosh was the itinerant fruit peddler on Sesame Street. The character appeared periodically between 1971 and 1992.
Mr. Macintosh would occasionally take the opportunity to do a little soft shoe while on his route. His situation as a seller of foodstuffs often put him in bearings with Hooper's Store and Willy's hot dog stand. In Christmas Eve on Sesame Street, he is seen working a seasonal job as a Christmas tree vendor.
Although his first name is not often used, it was established early on as Mortimer (named after performer Chet O'Brien's brother, Mortimer J. O'Brien). Gordon addresses him as Mortimer in Episode 0171, and Mr. Macintosh introduces himself as such to Grace in Episode 1050.
