  The 12 gauge 2 3/4" shells were probably started in the late 1890s. 16 and 20 gauge 2 3/4" shells I have to guess in the 1920s.

  Here's an article I found at shotgunworld.com that gives some history on the shotgun shell.
  
  I found at Wikipedia in the history of the shotgun some of the first shotshell may have been as early as 1858 a.d..
