Smarty Jones' Prize

The Woodburn Vase is 2nd only to The Stanley Cup in value and is the 2nd oldest prize at 143 years old in the world with The America's Cup being first at 153 years old. The Woodburn Vase was buried during The Civil War to prevent it from being melted down. It was later dug up at the end of the war in 1876. Quite a prize!
