Is the spout attached to the bottle. If not, does it stay on tight or is it just rested? Is there a special tool to get these spouts off and on?

There is a large snap ring inside that is impossible to get out without drilling the metal. The top locks in a grove in the bottle. They are filpruf to keep inferior oil from being placed in the bottle. They took a special lubster to fill them. Mobiloil was the best you could get in the 1930's From the DB Archives

Thanks you for the info. The question here is I am wondering if the spout is attached. The last picture appears as if it is not. I have seen them sold with the spout off and wondered if they some what stay on the bottle.
