Sounds like a good camera Fred!  Prof. Werner Wiser's book
describes (3 pictures for every camera too!) the following Ilocas
(note, Iloca, not Jloca) all made by Wilhelm Whitt in Hamburg
Germany:

Iloca Stereo (v. 1)  7p, 1950
Iloca Stereo (v. 2)  7p, 1951 (I have this one)
Iloca Stereo II      5p, 1954
Iloca Stereo Rapid   5p, 1955

>From the description and pictures it looks like a fine camera
with many modern features.  He notes that there is also a version 
with Steinheil 3.5 lenses and Veco shutters (B, 1/25 to 1/200).  
Also sold at Stereograms Iloca in GB.

The big question is how much you paid (or is this a sell-3d
subject?) and where can we get one that cheap?!?!  -- George
