Are reeds good indefinitely? (dumb question)

Hello all - I'm not professional by any means, just a retired basement tooter. I have a box of reeds that could start a good sized blaze. Some of them are quite old. Do they still make the Vibrator with the grooves? Most of what I have are Rico's. I soak them periodically and rotate them on my horns (Sop, Alto, Ten, Cmel as well as Clarinet). They seem to play OK but wonder if I would be better off to just scrap the lot and go to WW&BW for a new supply. I have started using Rico plasticovers for my sunday morning gig and I like the fact that they are ready to blow without a lot of prep. So, a queston...what is the longest time you have kept a reed??? BTW here's a funny. How many clarinet players does it take to change a light bulb. Answer: one - did you think we were brass players? Happy New Year to All Charlie C.
