   I am pretty sure Sears sells something very similar with a protractor attached to it....I know I have seen them just not 100% sure it was Sears..

   It's meant for guiding Skil saws, in various forms it can be found in most lumber yards.

   Porter cable makes a protractor gauge which is similar to what you have. Might even be a little better as it has the protractor scale.

   Hey! those were some quick responses !

   I guess I didn't look hard enough. That protractor one looks pretty good.  Thanks for the help fellas.

   I bought one of those many years ago,probably in the '60's. The one I have is called a "squangle". It's both a square and protracter guide to use with a skill saw.

   You mean it's NOT a "doohickey"? Wow! I've been going wrong for years! ;-)

   NO,  don't look like a "doohickey" or even a "thing-a-ma-bob"to me. I think it's definitly a squangle.Be not afraid of going slowly.  Be afraid only of standing still.   chinese proverb
