You used to be able to buy stuff to preserve eggs.It was a silicate (sodium silicate!) which is a similar compound to glass, and commonly known as waterglass when it wasn't called Norton's Egg Preserver.One projects for kids involved putting waterglass in a jar and adding crystals of colourful compounds such as copper sulphate (and probably some iron compounds).They would "grow" into crystal gardens.
The theory of preserving eggs is yo make them airtight.

I used to help my great granny preserve eggs when her hens had been over-producing. Eggs were still on ration then and were much valued. We rubbed their shells with a thick coating of Ovoline, which was very like Vaseline, then stored them in an earthenware crock in her cool dark pantry. The Ovoline stopped any air getting in.

mum would boil then mash up brains with butter pepper/salt and serve it to us kids on toast (and I'm 42 and it was considered perfectly acceptable to serve that up for lunch!)I had brains a l'orange at Dr Duddings on Hauraki Corner years ago ... it was actually nice!
