It sounds as if you know what you are getting into. I did not realize you knew so much about it, assuming you knew nothing and were traveling blind.

My personal experience includes nothing as old as what you have in new england. Clearly you know a lot more about this old flooring than I do.

Good luck with your project. Let us know what you decide.
