Any help?
Looks like a M A? Maybe M G ? No numbers anywhere.

I agree on MG. I'd look to see if you've got any dairies near you with the initials MG. That's not a glassmaker's mark, it's the dairy's initials.

I have to disagree with K6Tim. The bottle looks like fairly early machine-made era - probably 1920s or 1930s. The letters on the bottom (whatever they are, maybe MG) are almost certainly the initials of the dairy.
LARGE prominent letters on the bottom of milk bottles are almost always the initials of the dairy.

When the mark of a glass company is on a dairy bottle, the mark is usually smaller, not as noticeable, often embossed along the lower heel of the bottle, or in fairly small lettering on the base.

I agree with this 100% These are the diary initials.
