I just went through the same issue. The correct mason jar is the half-pint 'SPECIAL' jar. The low 'ring' on the 'SPECIAL' is a little larger in diameter that the standard half-pint. There were a few on e-bay just a couple of weeks ago, although a little pricey. I ended up buying the Cat plastic jars on e-bay.
The correct fitting jar for your model is the plastic jar, so far as I know. It has a metal reinforcing ring around the fls.ge.

I hadn't been able to find the jars on EBay, but finally came up with this listing.

They list this for a D4. Is it the same as for the D2?
Thanks to everyone for the replies and help.

Yes, this is the same seller that I purchased mine from.
Hi. Over here the original glass jars are Ball , we could only get plastic ones from Cat. But we got Ball jars from Steiner , IHS727
There are at least two different kinds of jar type precleaners, the older one ,5B2751, that was just available for a year or couple around 1939, is threaded and used the Ball type jar 5B2746, which is specified as "Jar-Wide mouth" and ring 5B3323. The clamp type precleaner uses the 5F6658 jar and 5B3323 ring.
The jar for the threaded precleaner updates to 6L7648.
My wife actually collects canning jars and the ball specialwide mouth actually aren't that special. Collectors value is under $10 As a matter of fact she just canned 2 cases of jalapeno candied peppers

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
