I certainly can't say they didn't exist, but I've never looked at an ammunition catalogue from one of our North American manufacturers that offered such. I certainly can imagine that shooters in the 1880s and 1890s might well have been handloading such loads in their brass shells. For a short while brass 10-gauge NPEs were being offered up to 3 1/4 inch length.
