Where has it come from that Rumple's 300yrs old? I don't remember this being said! Is this from one of K&H's interviews? I think so, I don't remember. It's written on Rumple's page on the trivia section so I guess it came from a reliable source. Anyone remembers where the info is from? It came, originally, from a statement made by Robert Carlyle. However, Neal corroborated it when he told Emma that the LWM wasn't his first stop, "If it was, I'd be like, 300 years old". o.o I thought he said "I'd be a couple hundred years old"? that could either mean:
 * He's like 100/150 and Neal exagerated a bit.
 * He's 200/+

Also, is there any actual evidence that Bae didn't appear in the Land Without Magic on 1700? I'm really bad at history, so, I'm not very sure XD The Elizabeth Tower (aka the Big Ben) was completed only in 1858, so it can't be prior to the second half of 19th Century. But then again, upper and middle classes in England had a very strict dresscode at the time and followed fashion closely: you can really tell the decade by looking at the women's dresses. That's Edwardian definitely, which is from 1900 onwards.

Of course, as far as it concernes Neal, he remained young by spending a certain amount of time in Neverland and popping up back in our world around the same time as Emma, Pinocchio and Storybrooke did (he seems around his 40s). We also know that time in our world and FTL goes at the same rate, as Cora, Hook, Mulan, Phillip and Aurora spent 28 years frozen, time resumed at the same moment and Emma and Mary Margaret seemed to have spent there the same amount of time that passed in Storybrooke in the meanwhile.

BUT, we know that FTL and our world were mutually unreachable before the Curse. Perhaps the curse took everybody in the time period where Neal was, and the two timelines only aligned from that moment on.
