Default Question about barshot...again

Yes, I know we've been down this road, but...

My question is this, I know barshot was still being manufactured well into the 19th century, especially during the American Civil War. Every example I've seen from these later periods, though, are the twin round shot with bar or the twin half-shot with bar. The third type of barshot (bar with two rounded discs, like hockey pucks!)- was it also made during the 19th century or was this the earlier pattern that wasn't continued. Every example I've seen has been 18th or earlier. I'm asking, because I saw what i believe to be a barshot with rounded discs, but it didn't look any older than pre-1890 or so. Is this possible? Likewise, when did barshot finally cease to be manufactured? Even with the advent of steam, attacking pirates frequently used sloops and scooners/sail-powered vessels still flourished into the early 20th c. So??
