My mother's Water Glassed eggs lasted over six months before we used them, but I have no idea about pickled eggs. (Do they taste briny? I have always wondered.) I'm seeing weeks, not months, for pickled eggs after a quick internet search, but again, we've never had them!

Pickled eggs with a good clean process can last a few months in the fridge. Pushing the three month mark can get a little dicey. Commercial pickled eggs have additives that extend their shelf-life so don't compare against those.

I have heard limed eggs can last significantly longer.

Do you mean shell-less hard boiled eggs that are put through a pickling process?

I had a unopened jar of pickled eggs that dear hubby got as a gift that I found in the frig that was probably 5 years old.

The eggs still looked good.

Here are some threads that might help:

Or do you mean fresh eggs in lime water?

This book explains several ways to preserve eggs:
