Does it date back to the mountain man era?

Do not know, but intrigued now. Did run across a cool sounding trapping museum ran by Tom Parr in Ohio while I did some research on your question though. Possibly they might have some knowledge about your question.
Failure leads to learning, learning leads to improvement.

Some of the research I’ve done and read is that the old time method was to smoke the traps.

Dying metal with tannin to retard rusting came about when blacksmithing started.It was done on things like hinges etc even before traps were invented.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.
