When did they stop making glass oil bottles?

Hello, I bought a couple of oil bottles at a auction this weekend and was wondering how do you go about dating these bottles and spouts? I also got two oil spouts that are plain. There is no stampings or marks on them. The bottles have markings on them which are MASS 0-11-8 SEAL, PA. SERIAL M-24, 64 MINN, N.C. APPROVED,APPROVED MODEL BW-1228. The spout says The Master MFG. CO. Litchfield Ill. Any info would be helpful. Thanks.
