Perhaps it is time to redo the floor by renting a floor sander and then redoing the stain and applying a clear finish. You can also make repairs to the pieces that are splintering but you may have to special order the wood replacements because the sizes from years ago are different than you can buy now or you can take pieces from hidden areas like closets. It is a big job but to be able to keep wood floors that are that old is priceless.
I'm affraid you will have to sand the entire floor and fill any deep gouge's in the wood . Then you can stain and seal the wood. This is a daunting job and I would recommend that you hire a professional to do this. It is labor intensive and very problematic . Industrial floorsanders can eat into the wood very quickly and make your floors noticeable uneven.
