Yes, sometimes for a really long time. The key would be the cancel, which should show the company, factory and at least the month and year. The one in the link doesn't seem to have a legible date. I can make out A.T. and maybe part of Co. , but none of the date. And of course of all the pics included that's the one with bad focus and glare off the shrinkwrap. I'm betting the date if it's legible isn't in 1910. Or even 1911-12.
