With your name you should know that those are basset horns!

You can see pictures of reproduction and historical clarinets and more info

The baroque clarinet had two keys (speaker and throat A, so it could play a
full scale in F), a recognizable clarinet mouthpiece with reed on top, and
parallel bore.

I have seen pictures somewhere. I'll try and find a website. I know one
type had a 90 degree angle in it and a bulb like an english horn.
