Nine of the 25 no-hitters in the last six seasons have been combined efforts. It is very much a recent thing.
Pre-1967, there is a single combined no-hitter on the records, the (in)famous un-perfected game by Ernie Shore in 1917.
Quote:
Ruth and Thomas were ejected for arguing balls and strikes after walking the first batter, who was then caught stealing. Shore retired the next 26 in a row for a no-hitter completely in relief.[71]
List!

Shore got credit for a perfect game in many sources until the rules were clarified in the 1990s, long after his death.
