With the older boat, if they teak was ignored, you've got a find. Like Capt. J mentioned cleaning and oiling the teak will bring back the color. I personally like Tip Top. It has a nice light honey color. If it was sanded a lot or improperly the grain may be gone, in which case it won't hold oil well and may need to be replaced. However, on older boats they used thicker teak and you may be able to just take it down a bit with brass wool. On many newer boats it's almost a vaneer, maybe 1/8th ". When that's gone it's pretty much gone.
