Celluloid is a well old material to use. Is it an old piece of kit? It was used for scratch plates on fenders till the mid 60s. It shrinks, cracks and in certain circumstances can combust. Im not saying the person selling it is wrong, just not heard of it being used for a long while. The thick lacquer might be cellulose which might be where there is some confusion. Like I say, I could be completely wrong, if so i like to see what it is.
