I don't know what it's worth, but you could always use it to build
Jim Kearney's Tiny8:

I did and I love it...
That is a really nicely done minimal parts 8008 system. I plan to copy it
once I find the displays.

I reviewed my old BGMicro orders and found it to be
LED1059, which
is no longer available.
There don't seem to be any ready sources for this particular display, but I
found that Osram apparently took over Siemens' opto products and *still*
lists an very similar device, the PD353x series:
http://catalog.osram-os.com/catalogue/catalogue.do?catGroupOid=000000000002…
I should locate some of these and do a Tiny-8 PCB run, but I also am lacking
8008's ;-(

Could always program an AVR to be a 8008. Or if you're really ready to
puke on your shoes, a PIC.

Hmm... I might have a couple of those I ordered some time ago - the
idea was that since I was having problems finding the correct model of
ASCII LED display (DL1416?) for one of my AIM-65s, perhaps it would be
easier to hack the ROMs to use something I could find easily.
I've been thinking about the tiny-8008 project for some time - I may
have to scrape together the parts and give it a go - I can always
borrow an 8008 from my pile of 11/34 spare parts.
Of course, as soon as I do that, I'll have to rig something up for a
4004... ;-) I think it wouldn't be too hard to make a 4004-based
digital clock, at least in terms of the programming.
