I am pretty sure it's for an Apple II or Franklin clone. says "CH" as
the manufacturer and has a DIP plug on the end of the cable.
$8.00 shipped in the US.

The Apple II series had a weird way of doing joysticks. The most common
seemed to be the 9-pin female port. For some strange reason a lot of
joysticks had a pigtail sticking out of the d-sub housing that plugged
into a DIP socket. Last time I checked, all Apple II machines had a DIP
socket for joystick/paddles.

with the //c and the //gs. Models before that only had the DIP socket
on the motherboard. If memory serves (I'd have to go downstairs and
look) the Frankin ACE 1000/1200 also had the DIP socket.
I seem to recall it was "popular" for owners of the ][+ to wire up
their own version of the 9-pin female port using the remnants of an
Atari joystick and/or a 9-pin female plug from Radio Hack.
FWIW: the CH (aka "Hayes" early in their life, no relation to the
modem manufacturer) sticks were probably the best analog joysticks
made at the time.
