Domain age is considered to be based on continuous registration. So if a domain is dropped and re-registered, it has lost any previous "age" it has had. The domain is 1 day old. Period.
Okay, I was under the impression that a domain is still considered aged, even if ownership changes hands. But I guess that is not technically the case. However, I still believe that a domain with 12 years of history, has some value to a search engine marketer. It's been my experience that these domains do rank quicker. But that's just my opinion, and I could just be lucky.

When a domain changes ownership it doesnt lose its age, but in your case it didnt change ownership, it was dropped, and then re-registered, so technically the age of your domain is 1 day.

Thank you for the clarification.
And just want to say that I picked up a dropped domain last month and it is now about to hit page 1. Whether history has anything to do with that I can`t say for sure.
How did I accomplish this?
I ripped the content from original website (thank you internet archive) and setup a wordpress blog.
Was page 3 within a couple of days.
Added a couple of backlinks, now about to hit page 1.
