Only to hang on the wall, I think. I've tried a couple, and they were nearly unplayable.

Isn't that auction on December 11?
I've been looking at that one today. I was puzzling over the anonymous Piccolo clarinet in Ab "?"... I asked for the length, and it's 32.5 cm (12.8") with mouthpiece. As a proper Ab sopranino is 35.6 cm (14"), this must be a Bb piccolo clarinet. But looking carefully at the photos, as well as the low estimated price (80 euros) I'm beginning to think that this is more of a children's clarinet than a real sopranino. I think it might be plastic, and it looks somewhat crooked...
There's a Bb soprano Couesnon Monopole (no mouthpiece), their top-of-the-line clarinet, with a pretty low estimated price. I think there was also a full-Boehm Buffet with a similarly low estimate.
Only one metal clarinet, and a surprising one at that: Oehler-system, plateau keys, by G. Huller (who??).

There's a lot of distortion in the photographs makingn things look warped. The Ab piccolo might be a high pitch one, so it may be nearer a piccolo in A than Ab.
G. Hüller is a very well known German woodwind maker.
