When you ask the question how old is this bag do you mean 1950 or 1900. Both can be considered old. I have owned more than one similar items and always felt that even though the colors would all pass the educated "eye test" the naivete of the drawing suggested a rather younger ( 2nd quarter 20th century) bag than older.
Certainly this date effects the collector in terms of how he views the worth of his collection but it should not change how beautiful he finds the piece.
