It appears that Mezz cues have been around since 1995, or maybe even before then.

I remember an old friend showing me his Mezz cue back in the early 2000's, and I thought it was just some cheap chinese import, because I had never heard of Mezz cues at the time.
I assume that Mezz cues were very high quality cues from the very beginning of the start of their production (in 1995?).
I recently learned that they were the true makers of the Adam, Helmstetter, and Balabushka replica cues (in Japan).
I am just curious how affordable their cues were back then, and through the years?
These days, the lowest end model that you can get is around $450 I think, and their retail prices probably go up into the thousands I assume.
I know it is a silly question, but I am just curious what kind of price range their cues retailed for at the beginning (in the mid 90's?).
I understand about inflation, so that might be a factor on why the prices of cues have gone up so high over the years.
Back in the mid 90's, a really nice Joss retailed in the $400 range, and these days, a similar Joss probably retails for around 6 to 7 hundred.
I know that these days, many players probably consider them to be the best made production cues in the world.
I just can't believe that I had never heard of them until recent years (other then that one time when an old friend showed me his Mezz cue, that I did not think was anything great, compared to a Joss for example), and was surprised to learn that they have been around since 95 (under their own Mezz brand name).
