Among the finds from my weekend trip to the Denville Historical Society and Musuem (New Jersey) were blank census pages for the New Jersey State census, year 1905. I have never physically seen a census page from any year, federal or state. This page seems too large and awkward to handle well. Perhaps this is one reason for the illegible handwriting that beleaguers census images.
Below is a picture with my hand so you can have a reference for the enormity of the page.
The 1905 New Jersey State census is indexed at FamilySearch.org. The actual images are not online anywhere that I know of.
