I'm not aware of any that are in production. One that you might be able to find in surplus is the MC14495. But beware of counterfeit parts.

7 segment decoder let it A B C D E F as well
I built my own with a matrix of diodes - a bit laborious but it worked fine. Seven columns A to G for the segments, 16 rows, where for each row the relevant columns are connected by diodes. B and D are sadly lower case (mabe even C) and rather bulky, but it works. Strip boards placed at right angles with diodes sandwiched between. Special care to get it right as it's impossible to correct once soldered!

As MrChips said, I used ATmega328 and ATtiny85 chips to write my own decoding and multiplexing schemes for various displays.

If you are looking for a challenge, try designing your own UART / I2C type bus from scratch.
