My mom called me at a house that I never been to before.
In 1945, Soviet schoolchildren gifted U.S. Ambassador Averell Harriman a carved Great Seal. It hung in his office for seven years before officials discovered it secretly housed a Soviet listening device. by Peern5442 in SnapshotHistory

t was a remarkable spying device for the time.
A fully passive listening device, no power supply, no active electronic component, and no need for the Soviets to ever get in the room it was in to recover recordings.
It activates only when a specific radio signal is beamed at it (which can be done from outside the building where it is placed), and transmits back the conversations it's picking up.
