Remember... Old celluloid binding... Quite Flammable...
It's cracked to pieces mostly because it has shrunk considerably... Not just that it's old and dried out.
You will find its a whole lot shorter when you get it all off than it was on the guitar.
Its usually glued on with hide glue or it was solvent glued on with some strong thinner - so careful pallet knife work and a little alcohol or the correct celluloid solvent and it comes off. I would stay away from heat with celluloid if you can... Don't want it to catch fire or go pop.
