They still make the original barley lollipops. Not cheap tho. Goggle & you will places selling them. Most are made to order.

The molds used to make barley candy were cast iron & are no longer made. You can find them for sale as well, but you'll need a deep purse.
Once refined sugar became more available they stopped using barley sugar. The candy made now is now called Clear Toy Candy & has no barley in it.
