Can't remember how to make small. Is this celluloid? I just found something online that looks like this and they called it celluloid. Said it was occupied Japan. It says Japan on the bottom of this.

You do 
Finally! I get to help somebody else!!! Of course, I say that before we see if it works or not.

Okay, that wasn't all that helpful for you. You do [ img ] then your url, then [ /img ], but do it without the spaces.
Let's see if that helps.

Use brackets, the square thingies [ ], not the greater than and less than, the pointed thingies <>. Does that sound a little off color?

There's one way to tell for sure. Find a small inconspicuous spot and apply a flame from a propane lighter. If it goes POOF in a cloud of smoke, it was celluloid  Seriously, keep that away from cigarettes or flame if you suspect it's celluloid. There is a test you can apply to tell for sure. I believe Kiara knows how to do it. She may come in here later.

It looks like Celluloid but hard to say from a photo. If it is - it should be very thin.
Looks like he has a neck problem?
I'd like to hear about that test too.

It doesn't have a neck problem, it's a nodder. It looks like celuloid to me, but I'm no expert.

Under hot water, most celluloid has a smell like vinegar or old camphor. Be careful not to get it too hot as old celluloid can be very delicate and thin. Do not try the fire heated pin test, celluloid is very flammable.

Yes, I would say it's celluloid and I don't really have anymore info than others have posted. cta has posted the right info about the smell. I never test with a pin for fear of damage and like cta posted, celluloid is very flammable. I wouldn't try hot water as it could remove some of the paint or crack it as it's quite fragile.
Here is a site for identifying and testing plastics.

Here is one for testing celluloid and many other materials such as metals, plastics, ivory, wood, etc.
