    Petroleum jelly (vaseline) was produced from the early 1870s, and would have been a likely substance for transport and storage protection.
    For lubrication and protection: spermaceti, Rangoon, neatsfoot, linseed oils.

    (all mentioned in "The Gun and its Development" by W:W: Greener 1882)
