Yes, I have one from a long time ago and haven't used it in a long time. I don't remember who made it, but it's an inexpensive jig for cutting tenons on a table saw. If I recall correctly, there should be a miter bar that's adjustable to the jig so you don't use the TS fence. There were pins and a couple of aluminum C clamps that also came with it. The normally stationary side of the C clamp is not there but the end is flush and tapped so a screw from the backside of one of the holes will hold it in place to secure your piece of wood. The pins screw into many of the holes allowing for a 90 degree or several other standard angle cuts.

I don't know of many people that still use these tenoning jigs but newer and better ones are cast iron with better ways to hold the work piece.

Sears sold those. There are more parts to go with it.

Correct, a right angle jig. Better versions (https://www.amazon.com/Shop-Fox-W1500-Right-Angle/dp/B000022423)are not so inexpensive.
