I'm pretty sure Ollivander is older than Dumbledore.
his shop has been in operation since 382BC.
im assuming of course that it's been him in there ever since, but he' 
creepy enough to be that old.  the guy has got to have some seriously 
powerful magic goin on to actually create the wands

Adam----no witty comment after his name
