Hello Stockton and welcome to the forum. Certo was a gelatin used in baking. A picture would help date it but I am going to guess circa. 1930's. Hope this helps, Kelley

I don't know about that, Kelley.[8D]

I know how to make homemade jelly, though.

Last year we made over 300 jars of jelly and jam.[:D]

Most of the certo bottles I find are from 1940-1950's dumps.

That should give you a timeline for when the bottle was made.

Hey Woody, is Certo still made today? Or has something else replaced it in the homemade jelly and jam industry?
