The epitome of this was the Honeywell animal sculptures made from
parts used as advertising primarily for their H200 systems back in

I've always wondered if Honeywell simply allowed the sculptor to
wander through the parts crib, selecting anything (regardless of
cost) that caught his eye.
Ed Thelen has some info about them:

Need some good colour photos. Apparently six of them are on display at
the museum (CHM).
I remember my 10-year-old self at the time, who was always scraping
around for parts, thinking it was an awful waste of components.
