Hi and welcome

They actually don't look to bad.. looks like a small of efflorescence in the grout joints but nothing major.

Once you re-wax them they will look great..

What are you going to use to seal them with.. old school method or modern..?

 

[Time's Ran Out]

I'd agree with Dave - they look fine for their age.
Have you tried a mixture of boiled linseed oil/white spirit as a seal. Try it on a small discreet area and don't allow it to lie on the surface for more than 10mins - wipe off.
When dry 24hours - buff up with natural beeswax.

Old school gives depth of colour and patina build up - but more upkeep!.
Its the difference in having a floor with character and a .............floor.
