Well, if Carlyle said Rumple is about 300 years old or as Colin said as long as Rumple has been TDO. I've calculated it like this. Present day would've been in late-2011 (season1) to early-2012 (season2), so take away 28 years from 2011. You got 1983 (which is Welcome to Storybrooke episode) === 2011-28=1983, Rumple's age 300 years old, if we were to guess, even though Carlyle said he was. So, 1983-300=1683. After all the curse froze him in time, so Rumple would still have been 300 y/o during the curse, he wouldn't have aged then.

But,. this still could be wrong. If, Rumple was bornn in the late-1600s. I doubt, well, it depends doesn't it. Rumple would be still in in a hut or something like that, a kid learning about things he shouldn't and finding out his own Father was a coward and a theif. Can't you tell? After three generations. Rumple, Nealfire & Henry are all thieves, just only Henry hasn't become a coward yet. Henry has pride and honor and he stands for something, just like Emma. Yet, Henry hates been lied to.. he gets that from Rumple for sure.

Anyway :P
