Honeywell Computers once ran an extensive set of ads featuring sculptures of animals and insects made from electronic components. This page mentions the ads, but I can't find any pictures on the web. And what ever happened to the original sculptures?

Ned Batchelder found some info: " I found an answer about the Honeywell animals: http://ed-thelen.org/comp-hist/TheCompMusRep/TCMR-V13.html#Animals. It was too easy, though. I typed "honeywell component animals ad" into Google, and it was hit #2".

The link is to a report from the Computer Museum from 1985, including some basic history of the animals and a few black and white photos. Apparently the Museum got hold of a few of the sculptures, and was going to compile a list of locations for the others. This ought to mean (I think) that they're now owned by The Computer History Museum, though there doesn't seem to be any mention on their site.

Update 6/3/06: Jeffrey Sax points out that Honeywell ad related items turn up on eBay from time to time. I don't know how long these links will remain valid, but for right now they work:
