However, there are some things we can deduce about his "age" based on the stories surrounding him:
* He was created in the late 19th century: The original story places his origin in the late 1800s, suggesting he's at least a century old.
* He seems to have a timeless quality: He exists in a realm outside of normal time, suggesting he may not age in the same way humans do.
Ultimately, his age is up to the interpretation of the individual reader.
