    Looks like celluloid. I’ve repaired several celluloid scales using acetone. If it were mine I would clean the crack and put a drop or two of acetone on the crack. You want to get it to wick into the crack. Acetone will melt the celluloid, so you don’t want to over do it. You want just enough to melt the inside of the crack. If you do it correctly and it will melt together and dry as one solid piece again. It will be just as strong as it originally was. After the crack has been repaired you can sand and polish the scales.
