Default Difficult to find utensils and cooking items

I've been trying to find a couple items with very little luck. I'm
hoping that somebody here has bought these recently and might be able
to tell me a chain store or even an online store that might carry them.

The first item is a jar for oil or sauce and the cap has a built in
basting brush. I know I have seen one before, but I cannot find one. I
like to make panini sandwiches at home, and I have to would like to
keep the basting brush in the jar of oil. Less mess.

A baking pan for mini-loaves. Basically a muffin pan, but mini-loaves
instead. I finally found one store that carried such a pan, but it is a
fancy silicon thing, and they want $17 for it. I just want a plain old
metal baking sheet type pan.

I have tried Walmart, Target, the local grocery store, and Cash N Carry
(I really thought the'd have it). I don't know of any local cooking
supply stores.

Any ideas?

Also, I'm looking for two OLD items.

One is an old BBQ grill that was shaped like a train engine. I have an
old photo of one that we used to have when I was growing up. My dad has
always been a train fan. My mom said it was called a Chatanooga choo
choo grill. It would be a cool gift if I could find of those somewhere
even if it doesn't work.

And second, has anyone ever heard of a brand name "Roberson" for
knives? My dad has these two favorite knives. They were purchased from
a hardware store a long time ago. That particular store is now a
museum. I have tried searching online and haven't found anything. I
would like to get him a set of knives like those if I can find them.

Any help with those two would be great. Father's Day is coming soon,
and it's getting hard to find the ideal gift.
