A star showing extreme features characteristic of the Ba II stars has been found in the old open cluster NGC 2420. A new colour-magnitude diagram has been constructed for the cluster, and a distance modulus of 11m.7 is obtained by fitting the unevolved main sequence to the zero-age main sequence. The location of the Ba II star is consistent with its being a disc population star of absolute magnitude Mv = −0m.3, mass 1.4 M⊙ and age 2.4 × 109 yr.
