Depends on manufacturer. Used to be common, now not so much any longer (even though they're still making 1" threadless bikes).
You can get after market shims but it can be hard to find the right one (so that it actually looks right) as stems all seem to have different heights.
I really like the ITM Eclypse 1" stems. Look quite classy once you deal with the logos. Think they're strictly NOS/2nd these days though.
