Taken in toto, the following six links suffice, I believe, to demonstrate persuasively
* that before 1956 there was no such thing as a Chrism Mass and that the three kinds of reserved holy oil were consecrated EITHER during the Solemn High Mass on Holy Thursday celebrated by the diocesan ordinary OR in a special ceremony outside of mass on the same day, the performance of which was reserved to a diocesan ordinary or his equivalent (e.g., an abbot).
Note that the stress placed on the preceding either-or construction is meant to indicate, not a permitted alternative, but an apparent contradiction between what is asserted in the second and third Catholic Encyclopedia articles linked below. My suspicion—as I have no probative or even persuasive evidence, that is all it is—is that the third article has been edited or revised at some time during the past thirty years. If, as I suspect, the second alternative is correct, it is probably also safe to assume that the CE's assertion that the special ceremony was instituted in the fifth century is correct.

*Please note the choice of words. I do not claim that the evidence presented is probative, simply strongly persuasive. Insofar as the pre-1956 ceremony is concerned, the evidence presented also corresponds with my own recollections of what I was taught by nuns and priests at that time, when the changes to the Holy Week liturgy were a very big deal for religious and laymen, old and young alike. (In the year 1956, I completed the sixth grade and started the seventh.)
