12V plate tubes are rather rare, perform poorly compared to most anything else.
They are very low power, low gain, and low frequency.
Philips produced a number of low-voltage tubes,such as the DAH50, A221 and A441,
in the '20s and '30s that people built successful radios with.
A few people have experimented in recent years with using normal tubes at
low voltages, try googling for "space-charge tubes".
