What is this? Micromac right angle simm...thing

Anyone know what this is? It looks sort of like a SIMMdoubler, but it just has room for one simm. So it's like a right angle simm adapter? I'm just not sure what the purpose is.

It came in a lot with some RAM, just thought I'd check with the experts here.

Your instinct appears to be correct.  It's a right angle adapter for a SIMM doubler.  It's used in a IIvx or IIvi.  I'm guessing there isn't enough headroom for a SIMM doubler, so it puts it at a right angle.
