pickling eggs for just snacks or food preservation ?

bbkaren,
What kind of shelf life do you get by water-bath/pickling, and what kind of brine?
With the "refrigerate" recipes we have found, we have been afraid to pickle all we COULD be putting up. There's only so much room in the fridge, AND only so many pickled eggs one can eat during short time the recipes say they are 'still-good'.
I'd like to have dozens and dozens of quarts sitting in the long-term-room-temp. pantry, just like all the other water-bath (veg. & fruit) pickles.
OR, does anyone know how long a big crock of P.E. actually will keep if kept in a root cellar at 36-40 deg. f. ? Did people not do this to preserve eggs as food before home canning ?
