Check out this link:

The stuff is pricey, but maybe if you just purchase a small amount to test it out....

If it works, you could then look on the can to identify the active ingredient.

Hi Gene - ..after 50 years.. ? They are from 1951 ? ..

No real idear about removing the glue - maybe sand- or glas blasting ?

Actually Carsten, the one I have has a brass nameplate on it and a date of
1956.  Sandblasting might work or it might just mix sand with the stiff glue
(ballast) and make it not so sticky!   I'll find an answer.   Thanks for the
suggestions Marsee and Carsten.
