What Year did jump cues come out?

Actually the Federalists released 500 "walking sticks" in the 1700s. After distribution they glued beaver hide to the tip and began using them as jump cues. Not only was John Hancock one of our founding fathers, he was also known as Jumpin John.
 
Mass produced? Meucci Cues in the mid-80's. But they were being custom built before that.
