A new moon is a phase of the moon, it's where you can't see the moon. It usually happens at the beginning of the month.... Umm, I don't think there is such thing as an "old moon". Or I haven't learned anything about it yet..
No, the moon can be old. Personification of the moon would be: 'the moon smiled on the new lovers...' 'the man in the moon could clearly be seen...'
The old one.
The correct term is a 'WANING Moon. From Full Moon to the next New Moon, the moon is said to be WANING. From Full Moon to Last Quarter is it a WANING GIBBOUS Moon. From Last Quarter to the next New Moon it is a WANING CRESCENT Moon. In very clear weather you will see the waning crescent Moon, with the 'ghost' of the Moon's full circle. In old lore it is said to be 'The old moon, with the new moon in her arms'.
In the ballad, "Sir Patrick Spens," it speaks of the new moon with the old moon in her arms that the sailors saw the night before they were to set sail. The language used is figurative for a crescent moon and this was a foreshadow that something bad might happen when they sailed. It was a type of superstition.
Leonardo da Vinci first coined the term "Earthshine" 500 years ago. Essentially it means that sunlight reflects off the earth's oceans and illuminates the moon's night side. It is sometimes depicted by the new moon with the old moon in her arms. Some dazzling pictures can be found on the Internet.
There is no "old moon". The opposite of a new moon is a full moon.
Where I live, there is a distinct no-moon phase. Thus I cannot see any new moon within the old moon.

The answer to this riddle is the face of the moon. It "disappears" before it is a month old and has been around for a long time.
