The Iloca Stereo II camera was made by Iloca from 1951 to 1953.
Iloca changed the format of the pictures to the Realist (5p) standard 23×24mm stereo pairs from the European version used in the Iloca Stereo I and Ia. This simplified the film loading and allowed 30 images per roll.
This camera had two Jilitar 3.5cm f/3.5 lenses separated ~70mm and accepted series V filters and accessories (32mm push-on or 30mm screw). It was fitted with Prontor-S shutters (B,1-300). The Newton optical finder was in an unusual location, below the taking lenses, and is very small for today's standards. An accessory rapid finder was available, which had a spirit level built in[1].
The camera has double-exposure prevention built in, but a small lever allows for intentional double exposures. Film advance an rewind levers are on top of the camera, and shutter must be cocked before shooting.
It was also sold by Montgomery Ward as the Photrix Stereo.[2]

Iloca Stereo IIa
An improved version, was named IIa and produced from 1954 to 1955. It brought mostly cosmetic changes to the II and used the same lenses, shutter and accessories. However, some late examples use Isco-Göttingen Westar 35/3.5mm lenses or Isconar 35/3.5 (Cooke triplets) and some were coated (marked with a red C).
Film advance and rewind wheels were moved to be flushed with the camera, leatherette and chrome trim were also changed. In this camera the intentional double exposure has been removed. The camera is large (1875x82x60mm) and heavy (770 g)
This camera was sold by Sears as Tower 83 Stereo in the USA.
The Iloca Stereo Rapid was the successor of this camera, and the last stereo camera made by Iloca.
