Answers.Body: <p>gev has the exact name of the piece, but I'd like to add one more point that could be helpful. When trying to identify pieces as Lego or non-Lego, pay attention to the more obscure standard connections. The small ball above the hinge is a standard small ball joint connection, recently revitalized by the Mixels series (among other things). It connects to the old Lego figure arms, as well as trailer hitches and the like. It's about the only thing on the piece that's standard Lego, but it is a defining feature.</p>

Comments.Text: I have never encountered this piece before, but what I do when I find pieces that I cannot identify, I first look at the studs. Obviously yours does not have any studs, so what I would do is either check inside the element, or look it up online. If more than one source says it is, then case closed. If you cannot identify it even after searching, you should talk to a brick specialist. That's all I can tell you. Hope this helps.
