Yep, that looks like a bottle for preparations dosed via a hypodermic and could be for veterinary or human use. Some people call them vaccine bottles, but there are all kinds of preparations dosed that way.

The ‘V superimposed on M in a circle’ is one of the marks used by Vidriera Monterrey, of Monterrey, Nueva Leon in Mexico since 1909. They’re now known as 'Vitro Glass Containers' (since c.1979?), producing mainly liquor, pharmaceutical and perfume bottles at their plant in Toluca, Mexico but they also made beer, soda, sauce and jam bottles and jars, including for export to the US. Owens-Illinois acquired their food and beverage container division in 2015.

There is a virtually identical mark used in the first half of the 1900s by Verreries de Masnieres (Masnieres Glassworks) of Masnieres, France but they principally made electrical insulators and are not known for pharmaceutical bottles.

Rubber insert for syringe. I’m guessing Veterinarian medicine of some type. M overlapping V on bottom with 1 and 7. The 1 has 4 dots around the perimeter. I can’t imagine it’s very old, but am curious. Thanks for any help.👍🏼
nice bottle. Not really old but interesting.
