Syd, I think the 'open' is an American make of pochade box and the 'm' is the model. Could be deluded though, I often am.

Those Open 'M' pochard boxes are supposed to be the best on the market, I'm keeping a look out myself for one but I do seem to manage alright with my old one. I think that I noticed Ken Howard using one which probably peeked my interest initially, won't make me paint like him mind you, of that I am certain.

Derek ,I found mine to heavy .and size 9x7 to small , I tried to give it away ,,, but it is still here in my garage ,,it is ok for storing bits and bats . .It did not take me long to realise a piece of card board with a paper taped on .and a bag with paints and water was for me I also have a french easel as new for forty quid if anyone is interested ,,,,but they would need to call .

I found mine invaluable when the easel wasn't sensible to take to a site.
