It's hard to make a judgement call from looking at 600 pixel images. Most of the time, I will ignore marks such as those. It's a 75 year old cabinet, those marks are part of it's history and character. Once it's refinished, the beauty of the cabinet will overwhelm the eye and the marks will be much less noticeable. Of course, if there are deep gouges, or missing veneer, I repair it. There is a difference between "character marks" and flaws that I cannot describe. It's just my own personal preference... many strive for perfection, and that's great too.
