"Nixie" refers to a Burroughs-trademarked product. I believe that a

Whoops, yes, I should have said 1-of-10 decoder - was just trying to distinguish
that it's logically quite different than a 7-seg decoder.
I think I actually did see a 7441 used for something other than driving a nixie
once, as you suggest, but I can't remember what it was in.
If your
designs are old enough, there are a bunch. 7441 = BCD to
7-segment gas tube driver. 7492, 7493 = 4 bit counter, 7473 = dual JK
