(quoted from post at 04:14:33 07/07/22) But that was not a common practice!

Once they are washed they would have to be eaten or refrigerated!

We placed our eggs in egg crates, stored in the basement where it was relatively cool, and those eggs were picked once per week by a produce truck.
 
Likewise we did the same , but we had to deliver the crates to the Egg Grading Station in the village of Hensall Ontario. There they were
candled and graded by size. The next week when we delivered Rudy would have an envelop with cash in it and a rundown of how many dozen were
grade A large , Grade A Medium and Grade A small. Each grade had a slightly different price. Our egg money was around $93 to $110 per week
and back in the 1960's that was a good farm income , steady and dependable. Of course we had to by Oyster shell and Laying Mash which was a
feed blend for layers. I didn't mind gathering eggs and filling the feeders because I knew how important the egg money was to our household.
 
I seem to remember the chicken farm down the road from us, cleaning, candling, and then oiling the eggs(I'm guessing with vegetable oil?)when I would walk down to get eggs for mom. They also had a walk-in cooler, in later years.
 
What I understand, there is a protective slime on them that seals the shell.

Once that is washed off, the shell is porous and allows outside contaminants to get in, starting the decay process.

The oil might possibly have the same effect.
