My dad got me the tire in 1996 and I guess it was sitting in the guy's attic he bought it from for a few years. I bet you the tire is probably a good 15 years old. Fortunately, there is no smell to the tire anymore.
A little history behind the tire, it was used for time trial testing in England by Bertrand Gachot. He raced from 1989-1995 and from what Ive seen, he wasn't very good in F1. It seems like he was always with a very underfunded team.
