But by a stroke of luck, a $10 find on a London street market turned out to be worth millions for Jenny Verrastro's family.</p><p>Before Jenny passed away, she pulled her nephew Carl Sabatino aside to tell him something very important: she warned him to look underneath the antique sewing machine in the crawlspace of her house. </p><p>After she passed away, Carl followed her advice, starting a decade-long journey to find the truth.</p><div><figure><a href="http://www.liftable.com/jasmineallen/aunts-deathbed-confession-sends-running-old-sewing-machine-no-clue-shes-hidden/" target="_blank"><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/123-6.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/123-6_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/123-6_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></a><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite><a href="http://www.liftable.com/jasmineallen/aunts-deathbed-confession-sends-running-old-sewing-machine-no-clue-shes-hidden/" target="_blank">Liftable</a></cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>Carl looked underneath the sewing machine and found an folder, with some British newspaper pages from the 1940s.

His own research suggested it was one of Picasso's only experiments with a new art technique called "gum bichrominate."</p><p>The first expert Carl took his painting to, from a New York auction house, threw the painting back into his lap and called it a "$10 poster," but his next results were more promising.</p><p>A scientist analysed the painting, saying that the paint is probably from the 1930s, which fits with Carl's story. There's also a thumbprint on the painting, which experts are trying to match to Picasso.</p><div><figure><a href="http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/New-Jersey-Man-Finds-Possible-Picasso-Piece-Worth-Millions-Hidden-in-His-Aunts-Attic-352202991.html" target="_blank"><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/NBC.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/NBC_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w, https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/NBC_GH_content_650px.jpg 650w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></a><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite><a href="http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/national-international/New-Jersey-Man-Finds-Possible-Picasso-Piece-Worth-Millions-Hidden-in-His-Aunts-Attic-352202991.html" target="_blank">NBC Chicago</a></cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p></p><p>This painting may be studied for years to come, but one Picasso expert has already seen enough.
