Woman Wishes To Return 110-Year-Old Flea Market Find | LEX18.com | Lexington, Kentucky

Woman Wishes To Return 110-Year-Old Flea Market Find | LEX18.com | Lexington, Kentucky:

Just by looking around Joyce Lamere's home, you'll see how much she likes to collect.
Trinkets that sing, a clock that chirps...
"Just different junk, I guess..." she says.
But for this story, we're turning back the clock 25 years to when Joyce Lamere went to a flea market and found something her ex-husband didn't want her to buy
"It just took my eye when I seen it," she said. "He said 'you don't need that.' I said 'yeah, I want that'.'Nooo, you ain't getting that."
But the next day she got it. A framed Kentucky medical license for 10 bucks and change.
The Dr. S.A. Nash from Mercer county who received his degree from Bowling Green got this license back in 1903 - 110 years ago.
"My goodness, and I've had 25 years of it," Joyce said.
And for the past 25 years, it's been in Joyce's closet. That was until Wednesday, when she saw LEX18 story's on a viewer who helped find the owner of some vintage Miss Kentucky photos.

Joyce called us, hoping someone watching will know who the certificate belongs to and find the owner.
"I think that's going to be a rough job," Joyce said.
It's the one collectible Joyce Lamere owns that she'd be willing to part with.
