The 2005 National Show! 

July 8-10, 2005

 The thirty sixth national insulator show was held in San Jose, California at the Doubletree Hotel.  Show hosts Colin Jung and Dave Elliott along with the The NorCal Insulator Club did a great job planning and coordinating this excellent show!  The show was a near sellout with over 100 sales tables and 24 displays.

This great show had good walkthrough, fantastic walk in insulators that sold at silent auction, and the best raffle so far!  The show featured an excellent caliber of displays and had plenty of great glass and porcelain available.  Many rare and unusual insulators exchanged hands and the banquet was one of the best attended for a national show.
