An Old Japanese-to-English Dictionary

I bought this old dictionary in a used bookshop in Tokyo around... ten years ago I think it was.  The shopkeeper insisted that it was old-stock-new, and not actually used.  It seemed as though that could be the case, with the low purchase price due to some (mold?) spots on the edge of the pages maybe?  In any case, I think it's interesting how it has hand-written characters - to show the difference between printed and written kanji?
