A Shafi’ scholar was travelling through a predominantly Hanafi village. He stopped at a masjid to perform a salah, the Imaam (a Hanafi) recognized him & instructed that he lead the salah. The Imaam tells the Muadhin not to give the iqaamah but rather the Hanafi Imaam gives the iqaamah. The Hanafi Imaam then gives the iqaamah according to the Shafi’ method. The Shafi’ Imaam realizes that the iqaamah was done this way out of respect for the Shafi’ Imaam & leads the jamaat according to the Hanafi method to return the respect shown to him.

Would we ever see such respect & tolerance in this day & age.

I do think it is possible and probably does happen even today; but we just do not hear about them.

I've seen things happen like that in jama'ah many times. Those incidents are not publicized as much. May Allah keep it like that.

More so, such toleration of madhab is mostly, if not all the time, desired in acts where neither madhab is losing out. For example, a hanafi imam making wudhu for sake of the shafii muqtadi and vice versa. Or Shafii brother not cooking calamari or lobsters and presenting to hanafi. I know loads of hanafi imams who make utmost ihtiyat of the shafi muqtadies and make tajdeed of wudhu nontheless. I do not know many shawafi, but those I know are always caring for ahnaaf. Unfortunately, we tend to highlight the odds and thus cause conflicts.
